Hi Ron, Thanks for sharing your great find with the rest of the Thomas cousins! My great-grandfather, William D. Thomas, served with the 97th Rgmt, Co. C, PA Volunteers from Septemer 1861 through September 1864 and I would give anything to see a picture of him. Hang on to that treasure! --Judy -----Original Message----- From: Ron Donnell <rpdonnell@att.net> To: THOMAS-L@rootsweb.com <THOMAS-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Thursday, June 03, 1999 3:19 PM Subject: photo of Sultana casualty Thomas THOMAS from Newark, OH >Thanks to the help of a lister, I have obtained an image of an ancestor, >Thomas THOMAS, a private in Co.
