Hi Folks, My name is Ted Myers and new to your list. I do civil war research helping people find soldiers. A lady emailed me, not for help, but to tell me she had a civil war photo of a Lt Charles F. Post of the 35th KY Volunteers. The picture was taken in the town of Russallville, KY. She found it in belongings of past folks. She don't want it and her family don't want it. She said she was going to throw it out. She then emailed me about. If anyone out there would like to have the photo, or are collecters of CW photo's, or if anyone knows this soldier please contact me Thank You Ted Myers
