Other Information

A small metallic veteran seal on lower left of gravestone says "LET US NOT FORGET THOSE WHO SERVED". Peleg T. Read is identified in "U.S. Civil War Soldier Records and Profiles" with the name Perley W. Read. The "Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War" records, as of Apr 28, 2010, provide the name Peleg W. Peckham Reed (sic). All other information in the "Records and Profiles" and the "Sons of Union Veterans" documents including Peleg's Westport, MA residence, vital records, his enlistment data, as well as the inscriptions on his gravestone, confirm Peleg's civil war status. Stone cleaned in 2020 Peleg enlisted in the Civil War and served in battle. He died of consumption in Washington DC when he was only 17. Research: L. Oliveira
