Frank William Tiesing, Capt. Co. B, 2nd Regiment Connecticut National Guard.
His obituary in the New Haven Register, Nov. 12, 1883:
"The funeral of the late Capt. Frank W. Tiesing of the City Guard took place from the residence of his family on Bishop street, yesterday. Rev. C. R. Siebke conducted the services. Interment at Evergreen cemetery. It was the largest military funeral held here for years. Capt. Tiesing was a highly respected citizen and was a member of nearly all the different orders of societies which were present. The city companies of the Second regiment with the second companies Governor's Foot and Horse Guards, the Wilkins Guard, and members of the Veteran City Guard, the Germania Guard of Hartford, the German Independent Rifle company, Germania lodge, I.O.O.F., the Keauken Verein and the Arlon Singing society, formed at the Union armory and headed by the American band marched to the residence. When the companies arrived they were drawn up in line fronting the house. The officers of the different companies entered the house and viewed the remains. At the grave the usual three volleys were fired. The dirge music was very sad. The floral offerings were abundant and beautiful. That from Co. B, the captain's recent command, was a broken column encircled by a wreath bearing the words in purple letters, "Our Beloved Captain." THe base was callas and foliage. White and pink tea roses and ferns built the column, which bore a snowy dove with outstretched wings, and at its feet was the letter "B" in blue. Many hundreds of people were present. Among the military gentleman were: General S. R. Smith, Surgeon General E. L. Bissell, Brigade Adjutant Colonel L. L. Morgan, Col. N. G. Osborn of the governor's staff, Assistant Adjutant General Col. E. M. Graves of the governor's staff, General Harmon, Col. Fox and Major James C. Crowe of the Fourth regiment, Norwalk. THe line was under the command of Lieut. Co. Leavenworth.
Mrs. F. W. Tiesing published the following: "The undersigned would return her sincere thanks, through the medium of the press, to the military organizations and representatives of the Connecticut National Guard, and to the various civic organizations who honored the memory of her late husband, yesterday, and to all who rendered floral tributes or otherwise assisted in the occasion. The services rendered will ever be remembered with sincere and deep appreciation."
