Let us not forget that all of Gallia County's Civil War vets were not soldiers, my great, great, grandfather, Matthew Riley Dickey served in the U.S. Navy aboard a riverboat named "General Pillow". So if you know you had a vet and can't find him, the navy was not only in the oceans, but were much closer, Matthew served in the Kentucky River and in the Tennessee River, among others...........
