Nelson Snow, a private in Company D of the 16th Connecticut, was sick several days before Antietam, but his illness didn't keep him from the battle. He was killed in John Otto's cornfield. "(Snow) went into the fight for fear someone would call him a coward," William Relyea, a comrade in Company D wrote. "He was brave enough to die." A state-issued marker and a memorial for Snow may be found in West Suffield (Conn.) Cemetery. It's unclear whether his remains were returned to the state. Unclear
