Joseph Proctor HUGER, age 17, enlisted as a private in Co. A (Webb's Battery), Manigault's Bn. SC Artillery, at Charleston, SC, on 21 Jan 1864. Two days later, at his request, he was transferred to the Signal Corps and soon was stationed at Fort Sumter. On 13 Apr 1864, while standing on a conspicuous part of the fort to watch the firing between Confederate batteries on James Island and the Federal guns on Morris Island, he began waving his cap when the Confederate guns made a hit. The action drew fire from Morris Island and he was killed instantly by the explosion of a 30-lb. Parrott shell. He is buried in the Huguenot Cemetery in Charleston.
