Judy,
I found a picture, the men are sitting on a bench and some are standing behind them.
Will see if I can scan it and send to you. No names are listed though. Had an article
about the picture. I believe it was noted that it was in a 1963 paper. Was in Civil War
file at library.

Hi Pat,
The names on the one picture that was taken with them sitting in chairs (ones identified
so far), etc are:
Anderson Preacher Bolin,
Charles Hess,
Awk Hemphill,
Jim Lillpop,
Bob Boultinghouse,
Squire Robinson,
Larry Hicks,
W. M. Sanders,
Ben Hemphill,
Bill Johnson,
Bob McMann,
Tobe Sprinkle,
William Henry Lance
Now I understand the newspaper picture and article was of the civil war vets still alive
and they were sitting on bleachers (not chairs) so I am assuming that one or more of these
may be there - was told by several that this photo and article had been taken right at the
turn of the century (1899 to 1900) and was supposed to be part of the celebration. Wish I
could tell you more, but the picture where I had some of the names were also of civil war
vets so assuming this was before or after the other pic that was supposed to have been in
the newspaper -- wish I could help more - just going on what others have told me and I
would LOVE to have article and picture and any names that went with it.
Thanks for your help,
Judy M.

Judy,
Is there a name of any individual that would maybe be in that picture? Maybe narrow down
the looking.

Hi Pat
I was wondering if you ever have time to see if you can locate a newspaper article about
the civil war men who were said to have gotten together right around 1900 and they were
supposed to have had a picture in the newspaper with all of them sitting on bleachers.
Would love to have this picture and article.
Also, if you go to the following address:
http://www.rootsquest.com/~jmurphy/perry/military.htm
There may have been a newspaper article of this particular gathering too with the names of
the people there too - some I have gotten identified but still so many missing - perhaps
older persons in the community might know their names - but I have no way of contacting
any of the American Legion, VFW, genealogical society, etc or the library (who may have
even the article or pic itself with the names. I got this picture from the man who runs
the Historical Society in Tell City and it didn't have the names or date it was
taken.
Anything you can find would be helpful. Thanks a million,
Judy Sandage Murphy
