Ingersoll Washburn died on March 14, after a brief illness. Of quiet, retiring disposition, he was not very well known even to members of the Camp, though he was a regular attendant upon the meetings.

In November of that year he was detailed in the Signal Corps, and continued to serve in that capacity until the close of the war, surrendering with Gen. Joseph E. Johnston, Army of Tennessee, at Greensboro, N. C., April 26, 1865.
