SABATIS, April 22 (Special) - "The news of the death of Mr. Joseph W. Sawyer of Wales who died in Riverside, Cal., Sunday night after a protracted illness, was received with profound sorrow by his relatives in this village and in Wales. A telegram was received Saturday stating that Mr. Sawyer was very low and various rumors of conflicting nature have been current since that time, but nothing definite could be learned until a dispatch arrived last evening announcing his death. Guy W. Sawyer of Boston, a son of the deceased, started for California Sunday afternoon. The body will be brought home for burial. Mrs. Sawyer was with her husband to the end. They went to California last autumn for the benefit of Mr. Sawyer's failing health and were accompanied by their son, F. E. Sawyer of Sabatis. The climate could have but little effect upon Mr. Sawyer so far along was he in his malady. They were planning to return to Sabatis A... but the condition of the sick man was such that he could not be moved with safe ... fatal termination of his last attack came as no surprise to his friends in this village as they scarcely expected to see him again in life."
"Mr. Sawyer was born in Pownal, Cumberland county, Me., March 30, 1843, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Reuben Sawyer. The Sawyer family lived in Pownal until MR. Sawyer was about thirteen years old, when his father moved to Wales, Me ..."
" ... Mr. Sawyer enlisted in the 10th Regiment of Maine Volunteers, although only seventeen years of age at the date of enlistment."
"The story of his military life is a very interesting one, as he participated in some of the bloodiest scenes of the war."
"The ghastly sights and experiences of those months made a very profound impression upon Mr. Sawyer's youthful mind and even last fall, just days before he left Sabatis for the west, in describing to the Journal reporter the field of Antietam as he viewed it after the battle., Mr. Sawyer was visibly affected."
