Stamford Soldiers' Memorial 1869
  THOMAS S. INGERSOL, son of Alexander and Caroline Ingersol, was born in
Stamford, Dec. 22, 1834. He entered the service of the Government in the war
from a sense of duty, and never shrank from any hardship or exposure to which it
called, until his health gave way and he was obliged to yield. At Roanoke he
took a severe cold which settled upon his lungs from which he never recovered.
He was greatly benefited by the season spent in Florida with his company, and on
returning Northward again into active service, unable to enter the ranks, he
took the duty of teamster, in which service he remained to the close of the war.
On returning home he found himself utterly broken down. His voice failed, and
the disease which had been fastening itself on his lungs, at length triumphed.
After a lingering illness, this exemplary citizen and good soldier made the last
sacrifice he could make for his country, in the gift of his own life. He died at
the homestead of the family, Oct. 24, 1866, and his remains lie in the family
burying ground in the neighborhood of his home.
