Was glad to see this info as my great grandfather, Calvin Edward Dykes, from Jackson Co was in that unit, along with several of his kin. I have a photo of the two Oswald bros in their uniforms. Was given to me online by Jack Oswald of Marianna. He has the original. My gr grandfather went on to teach school at the Zoe school after the war. The school was probably on the AL side of the line, on the Harry Roundtree farm, which was on both sides of the line. We are in process now of trying to locate and reclaim the Oswald family cem, on AL side of line. My grandmother was a Dykes, and born on road between Bascom and Neals Landing. She said that her father was stationed at one time near Pensacola in a fort. That the food got so scarce that they were eating rats. They were feeding corn to the horses, and what fell out of the horses mouth, that the soldiers would pick it up and parch it. She said that her dad nearly ruined his teeth eating the parched corn. Am still trying to find the burial location of his father, James R Dykes, Jr as he was in Marianna Home Guard before he died. It is said that Billy Dykes, bro of Calvin, had the first grist mill at head of Merritt's, and that the mill wheel was later placed at the old home place near Cypress. ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com
