Amiel Whipple married into the Warner-Sherburne family and lived in the Warner House prior to the Civil War. He enlisted in the US Army and served as a land surveyor and worked his way up the ranks over his 20+ year career. Whipple served as a brigadier general during the Civil War and was shot by a sniper at the Battle of Chancellorsville on May 4, 1863 and died 3 days later. He was a friend of Abraham Lincoln who rode in Whipple's funeral procession and made arrangements for Amiel's body to return to NH for burial. President Lincoln also ensured Whipple was given rank of Major General so that his family would receive better benefits (the promotion was in the works before Whipple's death).
