Lazar A. Stearns, was a 21 year old resident of Amherst, Massachusetts, graduate of Amherst College and the son of the college president, William A. Stearns. Serving as acting adjutant of the 21^st Mass. Infantry, with the Burnside Carolina expedition in the winter and spring, 1861-62, Lieut.

His father’s memorial records the brief life of an exemplary and very religious young man—featuring quotations from his letters right up til his death in battle.
