    1. Re: [Busbee Busby] Roll Call - War -State- Ancestor
    2. I do not see Oren Busby listed. He was an older son of Sheppard Busby and Mary Polly Busby. I have a copy of a letter to Waynesboro Mississippi paper he wrote in 1918 regarding all of the hoopla about the World War I vets returning. Uncle "iron", as he was called, recited his Civil War experiences, their lack of food and shoes, etc. He also told of the night before he and his brother James left home to go to war. Uncle "Iron" lived to a ripe old age and is rememebered in Wayne Co., MS for wearing a white suit and having a long beard. He was brother to my grandfather, Charles Edward Busby (the youngest son of Sheppard Busby). Dottie
