CHIPMAN, ORSON W. – Age, 21 years. Enlisted, November 9, 1861, at Summer Hill, to serve three years; mustered in as private, Co. E, November 26, 1861; re-enlisted as a veteran, January 1, 1864; mustered out with company, August 31, 1865, at Savannah, Ga.
(From Roster of 75th Infantry New York Volunteers of the Civil War)

THE AUBURN CITIZEN, NY; TUESDAY, JULY 19, 1927
Orson W. Chipman, 86, died at 2 o'clock Monday morning at his home in Pine Hollow in the Township of Genoa. He had been ill since last Spring. Mr. Chipman was one of the few remaining Civil War veterans in the Southern section of the county.
Mr. Chipman saw much service with Company E of the 75 New York Volunteers. The regiment was the second organized in this section. He saw considerable skirmishing in the Southern part of Louisiana at Bayon Teche and Brasheur City. The 75th was engaged in the siege of Port Hudson and suffered severely. It was also in the engagement at Sabine Pass. The regiment took its full share of the labors and sufferings of the war not only in Louisiana, but in the Shenandoah Valley. It was decidedly a fighting regiment of first class men, and made a record of which the state may well be proud.
After the war, Mr. Chipman returned to the peaceful pursuits of farming, from which he retired a number of years ago. He was widely known throughout Southern Cayuga County, where he passed the greater part of his life.
He is survived by his daughter, Mrs. Lamott Close and by a son, Arthur Chipman, both of Genoa. Funeral services will be conducted from the home of Mrs. Close at 2 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon. Rev. Darrell J. Westlake, pastor of the Genoa Presbyterian Church, will officiate. Burial will be in Sand Hill Cemetery, Dresserville.
