Captain Jabez B. Blanding

Brevet Capt. Jabez B. Blanding 

21st Reg Veteran Res. Corps

After serving

with distinguished courage in the U.S. Army

from the commencement to the close of the Civil War

he was basely assassinated

while in the discharge of

his military duties

at Grenada, Mississippi

April 30, 1864

in his 25th year

General Alfred Duffie

Although he's buried in New York, there's a fine memorial in the Old North Burial Ground in Providence to this Parisian-born, French-trained army officer who made his military mark and career with the US Army.

Duffie's memorial is right next to the Rhode Island memorial to France -- for some a savior of the fledgling republic during the Revolutionary War.
