==Additional Research Notes== 

===[[Heroes of Albany County]]===
''LEONARD CORNWELL, of Bern, was the son of Albert and Mary, and enlisted in Company D, Sixty-first New York Regiment. On leaving home, he was presented with a Bible by his half brother, WILLIAM HENRY, and this holy book was his constant companion. He read it through while he was connected with the army. After three days severe fighting at Gettysburg, he was killed. This is all the information that we have been able to obtain concerning him. We may reasonably hope, that the daily reading of God’s holy word, was blessed to his soul.''
