Stamford Soldiers' Memorial 1869
  GEORGE C. SWATHEL, Co. D. 6th Conn., died Sept, 22, 1864.

  He was a faithful soldier of whom his comrades thus testify, in their
resolutions of condolence passed the day after his death. "We mourn him, now
that he sleeps in a soldier's grave, as one in whom the service has lost a most
devoted citizen soldier, his town and state a noble son, the cause another
martyr, and his regiment an ornament."

  Mr. Swathel left a wife and three children. By the timely provision of
Benjamin Fitch, Esq., of Darien, his Orphans' Home had just been opened, and the
two sons of the deceased soldier were well provided for, in their early
orphanage. The widow and her daughter still reside in Stamford.
