Hello Friends: I came across this entry and thought, like the original sender, that it was worth passing on to other sites in hopes a relative of Civil War soldier Mark Crosby might see it. Judy Clark-Wick JWick@compuserve.com Resent-Sender: ANDERSONVILLE-L-request@rootsweb.com This was posted on another list. I have posted it here FYI. I would suggest that those of you who belong to other groups might pass it on. I would be devastated if I missed something like this regarding one of my ancestors. Subject: Mark Crosby Jr Discharge paper Civil War From: "Richard H. Greene" <rhunterg@ix.netcom.com> Subject: [Fwd: [OHMARION-L] Found: Original Civil War Discharge Paper] Date: Tue, 03 Nov 1998 14:39:24 -0800 I don't know how to get this posted nation-wide. But, I would like to see this original document returned to a member of the original family. My mother-in-law bought a picture frame at an estate sale in Tucson, AZ. When she took the picture out and removed the cardboard from behind it, a very delicate, old, and yellowed piece of paper fell out. This is a summary of what was written and readable on the paper: =========================================== Civil War Discharge Paper For: Mark CROSBY, Jr. Private, Company B, 16th Regiment Union Army >From Yarmouth, Massachussetts Entered service in 1860 and left service 1864 Marked Paid and signed by B. McCONNELL Description: 5 ft. 3 inches, gray eyes, dark curly hair. He was a clerk in the Union Army. Entered in the Auditors records on July 26, 1870 This document bears the Union Crest. ================================================= Help me post this for others to read. If you know someone who might be interested in this document, please E-Mail a reply to my inquiry. A life is not lost when it is known to future generations. Help me keep Mark CROSBY, Jr. alive for his family. Forward this message to anywhere you think might help. Happy Hunting! Nancy J. Smith n-smith1@ti.com
