My wife and I recently joined forces with the Warren County, Ohio Gen Soc. in Photographing a local cemetery. We found a George W. Sellers buried here. We were recently asked to do an article for the Ohio Civil War Genealogy Journal [OSWGJ] which is published by the Ohio Genealogical Society. The article is about the 3 Civil War soldiers buried in this cemetery. I am doing great on 2 of the soldiers but unable to find info on George. George needs your help, I need your help. It's killing me that I might not be able to tell George's story and give him the remembrance he deserves. We have taken this cemetery and its occupants into our hearts, we have brought the cemetery back from extinction, we have given them names again and brought them back to life by recording them in modern day records that will be around forever. But we have nothing for George except...... George W. Sellers 1. GEORGE W.1 SELLERS was born September 27, 1827 in Ohio, and died May 12, 1864 in Civil War, Drowned in Ohio River.
