Vince, I just sent you the article. I did notice while looking it up, that there was also a John H. Doerr who was a member of the 72nd PA during the Civil War so this may not be a misprint of the name. Amy -----Original Message----- From: Vincent E.

Harry J. was born 1882/1883 and so the timing would be within reason. However, Harry is listed as a welder in 1910, whereas JG is listed as a huckster. Surely the name DOERR was not remarkably common in those days? Vince On Wed, Mar 14, 2012 at 2:33 PM, Kate <chrismomxyz@yahoo.com> wrote: > the article gives his middle initial as H. no age listed.
