Stamford Soldiers' Memorial 1869
  IRA D. JONES, Co. B, 6th Conn., was wounded at Fort Wagner, July 18, 1863, by
a shot which entering the knee as it was bent, passed up into the femur,
following the center of the bone about five inches, before its force was spent.
It was found only after amputation of the limb. He lingered in great pain until
his death, July 29th. His remains in the Fall following were brought to Stamford
and deposited in the family lot at High Ridge. His father, Thaddeus Jones, has
for several years lived in the Borough.
