Stamford Soldiers' Memorial 1869
  WILLIAM FARNOLD, Co. B, 17th Conn., son of William, of Greenwich; was taken
prisoner at Welaka, May 19,1864, and confined in Andersonville. On his exchange
he was so completely reduced by the treatment, to which, as a Union soldier, he
had been subjected, that he did not reach home. At Wilmington, N. C., March 19,
1865, death released him from what could only have been a life of lingering
suffering for him. His family were awaiting his arrival with affectionate
longings, only to be thrice disappointed. Within five weeks of his death, his
two only children died here, one of five, and the other of three years of age,
leaving the wife alone, thus widowed and childless. He was twenty-five years old.
