I also have 2 ancestors that were mustered into the 50th Regiment---
Milton Charles and his son, Wm. Riley Charles.
That was 1861 in Seymour.
I found a photo in a book at the Jackson Co. Genealogical Society labeled
"The last GAR encampment of Civil War Veterans, at Brownstown in 1910." A
photo without names, but I recognized Wm. Riley Charles from a previous
photo. Unfortunately, I don't remember the book right now, but I did copy
the photo. It shows two rows of elderly men, sitting and standing, many with
beards and canes.
The photo credit said, "Courtesy of Blanche Dickmeyer"
It's a long shot, but I wonder if any photos were taken at Seymour when they
were mustered.
The father, Milton Charles, died the following Jan. in KY at Camp Wickliffe
of disease. So many died there that they may be buried in unmarked graves.
Sure would like to know.
