    1. [LACLAIBO] Magazine/Book "Confederate Veteran" ????
    2. I was sent a page in a Magazine or book that has a small note about the death of my Grandfather Henry Winn (died December 5, 1900 in Columbia County, Arkansas). At the top/Center it reads "Confederate Veteran" page 545 In handwriting, along the bottom "The Conferderate Veteran Magazine" No other information regarding where this document came from. Would like to know for my "Sources". The person who sent it has had it for many years and did not know where it came from. "Timothy Oakley, Adjutant of Camp Henry Gray, Timothea, Louisiana, reports the death of a member, Henry Winn, at his home in Columbia County, Arkansas, on December 5, aged seventy-eight. Comrade Winn was a soldier in the Cresent Regiment, Louisiana Volunteers, company F." Company Roll Muster has date of Jan & Feb 1863, Enlisted Jan 17, 186? at Boosier Parish, louisiana, by Col. Berry, for the War Period. Then, He was a POW at Bayou TECHE, La. Any info out there ? Captureed April 14, 1863, paroled May 11, 1863. What battles were fought/where/ who captured him ? Cresent Regiment, Louisiana Volunteers, company F according to a piece of paper I have here states that it is a Temporary regiment organized about 3-1862 for 90 days, on June 30, 1862 General Bragg ordered the regiment broken up and reassigned to the 18th Regiment of Louisiana Artillery, over-ruled by the War Department the Cresent Regiment was re-organized on October 2, 1863. On November 3, 1863, The Cresent Regiment was consolidated with the 16th Battallion Louisiana Infantry (Also known as the Confederate Guards Response Battalion) and the 11th Battalion Louisiana Infantry, and the now Consolidated Cresent Regiment Louisiana Infantry. Mostly I would like to know where this obit came from. Ley K O'Connor
