At the battle near Memphis (Gunton's Farm / Brice's Cross Roads), Humphrey and Rollins of the Fortieth regiment were mortally wounded.

The evidence

• “Bring the regiment up to the colors." The colonel did so and the regiment held that position to the 6nd of the siege. In June, 1864, at the battle of Gunton, southeast of Memphis, south of Lagrange (sometimes called the battle of Brice's cross roads), where the Federals were defeated by Forrest, both Humphrey and Rollins were mortally wounded, the latter with three bullets. A comrade from Belvidere, 111., took care of him, but he only lived three days.”
