Notes for EDWARD FARNSWORTH: Military History of Wayne County, The County in the Civil War. by Lewis H. Clark, 1884, Publishers, Lewis H Clark, Hulett & Gaylord, Sodus, N.Y.: Page 82, Edward Farnsworth. (Enlisted from Marion, NY) May 2nd, 61, 17th Inf.. Co. I,, promoted Sergt. and Ord. Sergt. wounded at 2d battle Bull Run Aug 8, 62, and died at Washington, Ebenzer Hospital Aug 25,62; buried in Marion Cemetery; first man that died from wounds received in action from Marion.* Sergt. Edward Farnsworth, of Marion, died of wounds received at Centerville. His body was embalmed and sent home for burial. The funeral was held on Sunday, Oct. 5, at Marion. Co.E 54th Regiment of Milita, under command of Lieut. John W. Corning, acted as escort. Six Farnsworths were in the service, making a patriotic record. October 17, 1862 - The Palmyra Courier (Palmyra King's Daughter Library) This is an excerpt from the October 17, 1862 - The Palmyra Courier (Palmyra King's Daughter Library) MILITARY FUNERAL - Rev. Amasa Stanton, of Marion, furnishes us the following report of the burial of Sergeant Edward Farnsworth, mentioned by us last week: Sergeant Edward Farnsworth, of Marion, was buried on the 5th last in his native town with military honors. He died of a gun-shot wound in the battle of August 30th, near Centerville, Va. He was struck in the left breast, the ball lodging in his lungs. The regiment with the entire line being ordered to fall back during the night, the wounded, including Sergeant F. were left in the hands and to the cruel mercies of rebel traitors. He was robbed of his money and every article of value, even to his pocket knife, and stripped of his coat, lying thus without care for six days. When friends, under a flag of truce, reached him, and removed him with others, as paroled prisoners, to Ebenezer Hospital, Washington, where he lingered until the 16th of September, when he died, composed and resigned in mind, as a Christian hero, who sacrificed himself willingly to the cause of his country's honor and freedom. His brother reached the hospital six hours after his burial. He made arrangements for his remains to be disinterred, embalmed, and sent to Palmyra. They reached the Depot fifteen days from his burial, not being in condition to exhibit to the public, yet clearly recognized by the body of our friend, though greatly changed. Mr. Holmes, your Depot Master, was principal marshal, assisted by Dr. S. G. House, and Capt. J. B. Burrud of our town, who all acted well and creditably their parts. The Martial Band from Williamson, under Col. Moody, was present and performed the funeral dirge, and "Happy Soldier's Return" to entire satisfaction. Co. F. 5th Regiment, from Palmyra, under command of Lieut. Corning, was also present, and discharged their duties like drilled soldiers. The procession was formed by the Marshal as follows: 1st,-About 100 citizens under Dr. S. G. House: 2d,-Military from Palmyra under Lieutenant Corning, led by Band: 3d,-Volunteer Soldiers in uniform, as bearers and pall bearers; 4th-Clergy and mourners; 5th,- Citizens generally of both sexes. They moved in this order to the place of divine service and after preaching by Rev. M. Short, his Pastor, from the text - “He has fought a good fight," - the procession ( about 4000 in number) moved in its original order to the grave. The coffin lowered-- the volleys fired, the procession returned to the village and disbanded. Thus rests the remains of that noble young man. Respected in life, honored in death, we shall long cherish his memory with sad yet grateful hearts. In behalf of his friends, I would express their grateful acknowledgments to Marshal Homes, Lieut. Corning and the members of Co. E. and to the Martial Band. May we in some way be able to reciprocate their noble generosity.
