A rare war-date partly-printed Confederate soldier's death certificate for a member of the Sumter Artillery, entitled: "Army of the Confederate States" document, 1p. 4to., being a "Report of Soldier's Death", Lynchburg, Va., College Building General Hospital, No. 3, August 25, 1863 confirming the death of Private Lewis Fouche, Co. E, Cutt's Georgia Battalion who died at that hospital on August 10, 1863. A list on the verso inventory his personal effects as totaling 14.30 and include two shirts at one dollar each, an overcoat at 5.00 and one rubber cloth valued at 2.00. Signed and made official by Surgeon Thomas H. Fisher. In September 1861, Fouche enlisted in the 9th Georgia Infantry. He was transferred into the 11th Battalion, Georgia Artillery (aka Cutt's Battalion & Sumter Light Artillery) in December 1861. He served with the regiment during its time with the Army of Northern Virginia from the Seven Days Campaign until the time of Gettysburg. He died a month after the battle of Gettysburg and perhaps further research will show whether he was a casualty of that fight. Tape remnants on the verso, else VG
