Fellow Harrison Co, IA researchers & Crystal: I have been contacted by a gal in California, she wrote, I know a gal that has "a case with a picture of a civil war person named William GILSON. There was also a lock of hair that came with the cased photograph and a small card that was signed by a lady named Iva. It read something like "who will take care of this sweet lock of hair after I'm gone?"" She found my posting w/ Wm Gilson's name in it on rootsweb.
