Hi All, I don't know if she is connected but Mattoon seems to be a strange name. I have a David Mills b. June 30, 1852 who married a Julia Mattoon on Jan. 1, 1873, age 20 (VVR). I have not idea who she belongs too. Just the kids of this marriage. (ref. Betty Post manuscript on the Early Mills of VT.)

Russell is proving quite elusive. Several of the Backs are buried in my ancestor's family plot in Braintree, but they just seem to disappear after that. I will be going to Braintree next month and will make a note to look up their deaths. Thanks for responding. I haven't found them on any Civil War lists either. -----Original Message----- From: Cheri Vanden Berg [mailto:lauervan@msn.com] Sent: Thursday, June 10, 2004 9:31 PM To: VTORANGE-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [VTORA] Russell Back, d. 4/25/1864 Anyone can check for an ancestor that may have served in the Civil War here: http://www.itd.nps.gov/cwss/soldiers.htm I didn't find a Russell Back.

Russell Back and his son, also Russell, both died on 4/25/1864. I am curious about this and am wondering if anyone knows of a Civil War battle or any kind of disaster that happened on this day in or near Braintree VT that might have taken both their lives on the same day.

I am going to Baltimore next month and thought I might visit the National Archives in Washington DC. Does anyone know if I can search War of 1812 Pensions there, or must I pay $37 for each one? If I can search them myself, is there anything I must do in advance? Thanks -kk

Greetings: This coming Monday, May 31 this year, is the day set aside in the United States of America to honor those who gave their lives in service to their country. It differs from Veteran's Day in that it does *not* focus on those who served and lived, such as (thankfully!) my father, my son, and myself; rather, it commemorates those who marched, or sailed, away, and did not return to tell the tales. Sometimes those tales would have been of heroism, sometimes of terror, more often of boredom, and loneliness. We will never know, except as those who did return may tell us, and only then if we keep the stories alive. So often those whom we should honor on Memorial Day have no other remembrance. So often they died too young to have families of their own, or if they did have children they left their sons and daughters to be raised by others. Too many times only parents, and siblings, and nephews and nieces, will ever recall the sacrifice; because the genealogists of a future time will not find them "in the line". But they stood in the line for us. I encourage anyone who knows of someone who died in service to his country to post a message about that person on this list. There is NO qualification of country; honorable service may be found on both sides of every conflict. I do suggest that if possible, you choose someone who is connected with the topic of this list; but if the name which you would choose would not be written otherwise -- please, write it here. And don't stop remembering when the barbecue is hot. Darrell list admin Darrell A. Martin darrellm@sprynet.com a native Vermonter currently in exile in Illinois http://www.darrell-martin.net/genealogy
