Stamford Soldiers' Memorial 1869
  JAMES W. WEBB, son of Noah and R. E. Webb, born in Feb. 1846, and though only
sixteen years old, enlisted April 10, 1862, into Co. A, 1st Conn. Artillery. He
was noticeably a prompt and valiant youth and a good soldier. He shrunk from no
exposure or hardship which was in the way of duty, and earned the confidence and
good will of all his comrades in the service. He died Aug. 8, 1862, from fever,
near Harrison Landing, on the James river, in Virginia. The body, embalmed, was
forwarded to Stamford, and at the request which, in his thoughtfulness, he had
made before leaving home, his funeral was attended from the Universalist church.
His remains were the first which had been brought back to the town, and were
deposited in the receiving tomb of the new Woodland Cemetery, until a lot should
be purchased for the fallen soldiers of the town.
