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 21st Mass. Infantry, with the Burnside Carolina expedition in the winter and spring, 1861-62, Lieut. Stearns was slightly wounded at the Battle of Roanoke Island, February 8, 1862, and then slain at the Battle of New Bern, NC, March 14, 1862, by a musket ball to the breast. 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.
