from New History of the 99th Indiana Infantry: Containing Official Reports, Anecdotes, Incidents, Biographies and Complete Rolls, by Chaplain Daniel R. Lucas (Rockford, Ill.: Horner Printing Co., 1900).
Reid, Tilberry, captain Company G. Was the oldest officer in the regiment when he entered the service, being about 56 years of age; his health soon failed and he sickened and died January 1st, 1863, at Holly Springs, Mississippi. His home sometime previous to his entering the service was in Hendricks county, Indiana. The military service is of such a trying nature, its hardships are so great that it requires men of iron constitutions to undergo the service. Captain Reid could not endure those hardships and went down under them.
