Alice, The Laurel Co. researchers have a picture online of that reunion on their courthouse steps!! Any identification of those men is greatly welcomed. http://www.rootsweb.com/~kylaurel/military/civilwar.html I'm very glad to now know that the date of the Laurel Co. reunion was September 25, 1884. The website lists the apprx. date of the photo as 1890. Kathy in MN Alice wrote: > Found this over on Laurel Co page: > This includes my Capt.
