    3. Sharen - Thank you so much for these; Chandler P. Taylor of Morristown is my greatgrandfather. I knew about his injured hand because I have his Army pension papers; apparently it was a real mess, quite mangled, and of course this was before antibiotics or anything, and he was discharged on a surgeon's certificate because of it. I have pictures of him but he always conceals his right hand from the camera. You definitely did not do it all for nothing; I am very glad to have it!
