1st LT, 10th IL Cav
Aged 24yrs, 8ms, 8dys; pneumonia
At a meeting of Central Lodge No. 71, May 11, 1863, the Secretary of said Lodge was directed to furnish the city papers with the following obituary of Lieut. D. L. Canfield, and request its publication, to-wit:
The deceased was a native of this city, and the oldest son of John E. Canfield, Esq., who in an early day migrated to Illinois from the State of New Jersey. The Lieutenant was born August 29, 1838, being at the date of his decease, 24 years, 8 months and 8 days old.
At the beginning of the rebellion now afflicting the country, Mr. Canfield entered the military service of his country, and so continued to the close of his life. For the greater part of that period he was connected with the 10th Illinois Cavalry with the rank of First Lieutenant, and acting as Quartermaster. Only a few weeks previous to his death he had been detailed to the duty of Commissary of Musters for the Army of the Frontier, and he was in that capacity a member of Major General Herron's staff.
The fatal disease which plucked and carried him home, in the fresh bloom of an intelligent, vigorous and promising manhood, was pneumonia. He breathed his last calmly and peacefully and without apparent pain, in the Planter's House in St. Louis, Mo., May 6, 1863. In his last illness he was attended by personal friends, between whom and himself there subsisted the mutual endearments of many years acquaintance, and among whom were several of his associates in arms and in the fraternal bonds of the Masonic Order. But neither the tender assiduities of appreciating friends, nor the benificient ministrations of Free Masonry, nor the most earnest attention of the best medical skill could arrest the insidious and rapid advances of the fatal malady brought on only ten days previous by exposure in the tented field.
The distinguishing traits of character possessed by our departed brother were promptness, energy and fidelity in the discharge of business; affability and candor as a companion; a discriminating, generous and true friend - an intelligent and brave soldier. These virtues cause his loss, so early in life, to be felt; but the qualities are also a just cause for the indulgence of cheering recollections and happy memories, which may serve as noble inspirations to survive the lamented dead. Lotus Niles, Secretary Central Lodge No. 71. IL State Journal, Springfield, IL 5-13-1863
Note: tombstone states date of death as May 7, 1863, but all notices and articles in the newspaper state his death as May 6.
