List Readers: Thank you to all who worked on the mystery man photo. I knew someone would know who this man is. Donna Cooper -------Original Message------- From: mobarry@rootsweb.com Date: Tuesday, February 19, 2008 6:01:01 AM To: mobarry@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [MOBARRY] Question I would guess that this man is the Civil War Veteran. My Barry County ancestor, Edward Clanton, was a Union Veteran. He lived until 1916 and attended several Civil War reunions in the area.

(Most of my ancestors were on the other side!) :) I enjoyed reading the History of the GAR.
