Stamford Soldiers' Memorial 1869
  WILLIAM E. WHITE, captain Co. K, 90th N. Y. S. M., a step son of the late
Peter Smith, Esq., of Stamford. The following testimonial in the official notice
of his death, is worthy a place on our record. It is addressed to
Adjutant-General L. Thomas, U. S. Army, Washington, D. C., by Col. William
Chapman, commanding the draft rendezvous, Wisconsin:

  "It is with deep regret that I announce to you the death of Capt. William E.
White, 90th New York Volunteer Infantry, Assistant Quartermaster at this
rendezvous. He expired at 10.30 o'clock, A. M., Feb. 4, 1865, at his boarding
house in the city of Madison, to which place he was removed from camp Randall, a
few days previous to his death. Capt. White reported for duty, Nov. 30, 1864,
and was appointed Acting Assistant Quartermaster on the 30th of that month, and
although his constitution was much debilitated by disease, the result of
exposure in the field, he discharged his duties in a most faithful and
satisfactory manner, until within a few days of his death.

  "Capt. White was highly esteemed and respected for his mild and agreeable
manners, the general excellence of his character, and his devotion to the
service in which he had volunteered." The remains of Capt. White were brought to
Stamford. His funeral was attended in St. John's Church, Feb. 10, 1865.
