The Sixby Boys:
The last full measure of devotion is exemplified by the Sixby family monument in the Stratford Cemetery. Three sons of Colonel James Sixby
enlisted in the Union army in the Civil War, and each made the supreme
sacrifice. First to enlist was Nicholas, who was killed in the battle of Fair Oaks. John was the next to enlist and was killed one month after his brother's death. Later in the war, another son, Jerome, 17 years of age at the time, enlisted and was killed in the storming of Petersburg. Sometime before the close of the war, a funeral was held for the three soldier-brothers in a grove near the cemetery, and people came from far and near to pay tribute to these three sons of one family who gave their lives for their country.
