Phineas Lyman Tracy, Adjutant. Soldier of the Revolution.
Several of our main guard were killed by cannon shot. Our adjutant, Phineas Lyman Tracy, from the town of Norwich, died soon after we came into camp. - The day following his departure we all turned out to attend his funeral; we carried him three miles to the burying ground in Brooklyn. The order of march was, arms reversed, drums muffled, and pipes playing
: 120
the tune called "Funeral Thoughts." Just fifty years afterwards, out of respect to the memory of this young man, I went to view the spot and find the grave in which he was deposited, but found nothing by which it was to be distinguished from many others.
