Little Angelica was the 1 year 7 months and 23 days old —daughter of Walter Scribner Schuyler and Mary Gardiner. She passed away at Fort Riley, Kansas
Despite her death in far away Kansas, it was reported in "The New York Times" July 16 1887 Saturday p 5.
Her father Walter Scribner Schuyler was the first Commander of the United States Army Pacific Command, then called the Military District of Hawaii, from 1909 to 1910. A veteran of the Spanish–American War, he graduated from the United States Military Academy in 1870. He was commissioned into the United States Cavalry.

Schuyler's first combat service was in the Indian campaigns, during which he fought in Arizona, Wyoming, Montana, and Colorado. In Wyoming, Schuyler participated in a grueling 1876 march under General George Crook that forced the cavalrymen to eat their own horses. He then served as professor of military science at Cornell University. During the Spanish–American War, he served in Puerto Rico, Cuba, and the Philippines.

After the Spanish–American War, General Schuyler served as a military observer with the Russian army in Manchuria in 1904. From 1904 through 1906, he served on the General Staff of the United States Army. After his Hawaiian command, the Army promoted him to Brigadier General on 1911-01-05. He commanded an independent cavalry brigade in San Antonio before serving as the Commanding General for Fort Riley, Kansas from 1911 through 1912. Before his retirement in 1913, Schuyler's last command was the 8th Brigade. He died on February 17, 1932.

Angelica's grandfather George Washington Schuyler was a brilliant man as well because not much has been written about him on FindAGrave I will add something about George Washington Schuyler because he has been such an important man to Schuyler genealogists by researching and compiling the still mainstay of Schuyler genealogy "Colonial New York -Philip Schuyler and His Family in Two Volumes" published by his wife's relatives and well-known publisher Charles Scribner's Sons in 1885. It covers from the time when New York was a fledging colony and Philip Pieterse and his brother David Pieterse Schuyler left Amsterdam about 1650 and took up residence in Beverwyck/now Albany, New York through the many various descendants until he had dealt with almost every branch (not just his own line) of the Schuylers and all this without a computer. Even in 2021 it is still used for a great deal of historical research and much of the genealogy of the Schuyler family

George Washington Schuyler (February 2, 1810 – February 1, 1888) was an American businessman, author, politician and member of the prominent Schuyler family.

George Washington Schuyler was born on February 2, 1810, in Stillwater, New York, which is located in Saratoga County, New York. His parents were Annatje (née Fort) Schuyler (1770–1851) and John Harmanus Schuyler (1763–1846), the private secretary of John Barker Church. His siblings included: Henry Ten Broeck Schuyler, Phillip Church Schuyler, Catherine Angelica Schuyler (wife of Nicholas Bleecker), and Rebecca Sarah Margaret Schuyler.

His paternal grandparents were Harmanus Schuyler (a son of Nicholas Schuyler and Elsie (née Wendell) Schuyler) and Christina Ten Broeck (a daughter of Samuel Ten Broeck and Maria (née Van Rensselaer) Ten Broeck).[

His family moved to Ithaca, N.Y., in 1811. There he worked on the family farm, and attended the public schools. At age sixteen, he began to work at a drugstore and learned this trade. In 1834, he enrolled at New York University and graduated in 1837.

After graduating from New York University in 1837, he returned to Ithaca, N.Y., and opened his own drugstore.

In 1848, he entered politics as a Free Soiler, and was Trustee of the Village of Ithaca for two years. In 1855, he was among the founders of the Republican Party in Tompkins County. He was a delegate to the 1860 and 1864 Republican National Conventions.

He was elected New York State Treasurer in 1863, besting the incumbent William B. Lewis with 314,303 votes to Lewis' 284,618.Schuyler, who was elected on the Union ticket nominated by the Republicans and War Democrats, served from 1864 to 1865. He was appointed by Governor Reuben Fenton as the Superintendent of the New York State Banking Department from 1866 to 1871.

Schuyler was married to Matilda Scribner (1809–1898), the daughter of Uriah Rogers Scribner and Martha Scribner. Matilda was a half-sister to Charles Scribner (1821–1871), the founder of Charles Scribner's Sons. Together, they were the parents of:

Eugene Schuyler (1840–1890), a writer and diplomat.
Martha Schuyler (1842–1922), who married Chauncey Lewis Grant, Jr. (1834–1887)
Evelyn Schuyler (1846–1942), who married Charles Ashmead Schaeffer (1843–1898).
Walter S. Schuyler (1850–1932), who married Mary Miller Gardiner, later Elizabeth Stanton. Graduated West Point in 1870; participated in Indian campaigns as aide to Gen. George Crook in Arizona and Bighorn and Yellowstone expedition. At Battle of Rosebud and starvation Horsemeat March to Slim Buttes. Numerous other postings. In 1909 became first Commander of U.S. Army Pacific Command (Military District of Hawaii), retiring in 1913 as brigadier general.
Kate Bleecker Schuyler (1853–1859), who died young.

1872, he joined the Liberal Republicans, and later became a Democrat. He was a candidate against John H. Selkreg for the New York State Senate in 1873 and 1875, but was defeated both times. In 1874, he was elected as a member of the New York State Assembly, representing Tompkins Co., in 98th New York State Legislature.

After serving in the Assembly, he was appointed by Governor Samuel J. Tilden as Auditor of the Canal Department,[5] a position he held for nearly five years.

Schuyler served as a Trustee of Cornell University from its foundation, and Treasurer from 1868 to 1874. In 1885, he published Colonial New York: Philip Schuyler and His Family (Charles Scribner's Sons; 2 volumes), a valuable resource of Dutch origins, history and genealogy in the Albany region.

It is doubtful George Washington Schuyler saw his granddaughter Angelica as she died in Kansas and was only 20months old when she passed away. George died 7 months later on February 1, 1888, in Ithaca. After his death, his widow married Isaac Remsen Lane (d. 1910).
