Stamford Soldiers' Memorial 1869
  SAMUEL S. OSBORN, Co. H, 17th Conn., son of Samuel. After re-enlisting in the
2d Heavy Artillery, he was wounded at the severe fighting of Cold Harbor, June
1, 1864. He was sent to Washington, D. C., and thence to McDougal hospital, Fort
Schuyler, N. Y. When too late to save him, his right leg was amputated, after
which he suddenly sank, and died June 30, 1864. His funeral was attended bv Rev.
L. W. Bacon at the Congregational church, July 3d, and his remains lie in the
family lot in Woodland Cemetery. He left no family, his wife having died before
his re-enlistment. He died at forty-five years of age, leaving the record of a
good soldier. His last last words were those of a joyful Christian, "I am almost
home."
