Century Memorial

Colonel Edgar Beach Van Winkle was one of our few remaining veterans of the Civil War, in which he enlisted as private and rose to the rank of captain during his three years’ active service. By profession a civil engineer, he long served the New York National Guard as divisional engineer and was for five years chief engineer of the New York Department of Public Works.
