W. W. Westfall was a hospital steward with the 13th Regiment, Missouri Infantry, and had only been in Northern Colorado for a few months when he got sick caring for the sick at Camp Collins.

He died, like many other soldiers of the Civil War military post situated in what is now present-day Fort Collins, as a young man far from home. And he's one of the lucky ones.
