Some June 1863 cuttings from a Seneca Falls, New York newspaper:
Naval Graduate.
We are pleased to learn that SCHUYLER CROWNINSHIELD, son of Jacob Crowninshield, Esq., of this village, has honorably graduated from the U.S. Naval School at Newport. He is now at home on furlough, but expects soon to be called into the service, where we have no doubt he will highly distinguish himself. He is a young man of character and intelligence, and will never do ought to stain the honorable name which he bears.
