Stamford Soldiers' Memorial 1869
  LEWIS B. SCOFIELD, Co. B, 28th Conn., son of James B. Scofield, was taken sick
with fever at Brashear City, on the Mississippi, and sent to the hospital at New
Orleans, where he died June 13, 1863, at thirty years of age. He was an
excellent young man, and went into the service for the love he bore the Union,
counting not his life dear to him, if he might serve so good a cause. His
remains were brought home, and his funeral services were held in the Methodist
church, attended by a large number of our people. The Rev. Dr. Sawyer, of New
York, officiated, and his remains were deposited in the new Woodland Cemetery.
