Stamford Soldiers' Memorial 1869
  MARINUS W. THORNE, Co. D, 6th Conn., son of Lewis Thorne, was reported in the
Catalogue of the Connecticut Volunteer Force, as deserting, Feb. 27, 1863. The
report was made because he was not present at roll-call after his furlough had
expired. He had left home to return, intending to join his company at New York,
then on the way to the field again, but by some foul treatment, was disabled and
robbed in New York. When the report of his desertion was made at Headquarters,
he had already fallen a victim to the brutal treatment he had suffered. He died
at one of the hospitals in New York, and his remains now lie among hundreds of
his fallen comrades in the Cypress Hill Cemetery. His mother, now Mrs. G. S.
Smith, is now living here.
