A picture of Miles Yount in Catawba Soldier p 130. I know a guy named Yount lives Fairbook area that looks very much like this Miles' picture. In fact, I know seveal people that look a lot like men with the same surname pictured in this book. My parents Maynell Burris & Gerald Murray Yoder both died this year, ages 85 & 86. We audio taped Dad telling old stories of growing up in "Yodertown" on Yoder Reunion Sunday, 2 weeks before he died.
