A lover of peace, he was forced to be captain in a terrible war. "You know me, Voorhees," he said to an old friend; "I can't bear to cut off the head of a chicken, and here I stand among rivers of blood!" Under overwhelming perplexities and responsibilities, amid a ceaseless drain on his sympathies, he learned and practiced a higher fidelity and deeper trust.

Catherine Louden was wrecked and the aged woman and her son, Ralph Louden, were badly injured. Many houses were wrecked between Third and Fifth Streets in Voorhees Street. A freight car was pressed into service as a temporary medical quarter, when the fire wagons with the police and fire departments arrived on the scene.
