On the 27th of April, Corporal Van rensaelear Everingham of Company I, died at the Fortress Monroe Hospital of typhoid fever. He was a son of Justice Everingham and a promising young man. The following resolutions were adopted by his Co. on learning of his death: ---
Camp Winfield Scott, Near Forktown, VA, May 1 '62... Whereas, We have learned that on the 27th day of April 1862, our much loved fellow soldier, Corporal Van Rensealier Everingham died of typhoid fever, at the Chesapeake Hospital at Fortress Monroe, therefore....
Resolved, That in the death of Corporal Everingham, Company I has lost one of it's most valuable and efficient members, and the society in which he moved at home, lost one of it's most patriotic and high minded young men; while his family has been bereft of a noble son and brother, whose place in the hearts of relatives and friends will ever be an aching void...
Resolved, that we hereby assure the friends and relatives of our deceased comrade that our warmest sympathies are extended to them in this hour of their sad bereavement, and remind them that some consolation can be found in the fact that his promising young life has been given up in defense of his loved country, and that though dying of disease, his honor is as great as though he fell at the cannon's mouth.
Resolved, that a copy of these resolutions be sent to the afflicted family of the deceased and published in the papers of Syracuse
.... Hamilton R. Combe, Captain Co. I, 12th N.Y. Vols. "
