Stamford Soldiers' Memorial 1869
  BENJAMIN O. SEARLES, Co. B, 13th Conn., son of Edwin G. and Maria O., went
heartily into the service and made a good soldier. He was killed in the fiery
charge at Irish Bend, April 14, 1863, in which "every soldier seemed eager to
press forward to accomplish the object before him." He was one of the five sons
furnished by this family for the service, and it was to his credit, that he
stood well in one of the best regiments furnished by the State during the war.
