“The death is announced of Mrs. Eliza E. Cutler, wife of the
doorkeeper of the United States Senate. In February, 1863, her
husband’s regiment was at Fort Donelson and Mrs. Cutler was visiting
him there, stopping at a house just outside the fortification. The
colours of the regiment were also in this house. In the excitement
which followed the first attack on the day of battle, the regiment
went into action without its flag, but just as the fighting became the
hottest, with odds terribly against them, they were cheered by the
appearance of a woman with a sword in one hand, and bearing
triumphantly aloft the regiment’s colours. This was Mrs. Cutler, who
remained on the battlefield until her husband’s regiment was ordered
on board a transport in the Cumberland river. She immediately went to
the upper deck, where, with assistance, she planted the Stars and
Stripes in the face of a galling fire. There she remained, in spite of
all remonstrances, until they passed out of the range of fire.”
