Contact The Grover Museum at 52 West Broadway, Shelbyville, IN 46476 (317) 392-4634 or The Shelby County Historical Society at the same address.
Another possible source: About two weeks ago in The Indianapolis Star (South section), there was a story about The Strand, when the DeWitt family bought it making it The Cinema, and how it is now up for sale. Good luck.

Please help!!!
Looking for any photographs of the Strand Theater on S. Harrison St. in Shelbyville. Something that predates the 60s would be a great help. Was built in 1916. Early photos are best. Thnak you.
Would that be Warren County Ohio?

I think what you have to do, to get the regiment up, is just put 24 in the
unit, Indiana in the state, and Infantry in function and a surname. It
doesn't work if you put 24th.

Probally a distant relation. The Goodpasture and Goodpaster families are
descended from a common ancestor, Jacob Goodpaster. His descendants that
went to TN, late 1700's, use the spelling Goodpasture. The branch that went
about the same time to KY use Goodpaster.

I did not use the unit name, because it would not work listing it, for some
reason.
Click on the 24th unit link to get to the page [above] There is a search
engine and roster for all the members of this unit.
I used these brief summaries of the service records for my notes for each
veteran I have in my Family Tree Maker. It will make interesting for descendants
seeing a CW movie, even if they don't pay any attention to the family tree, I
think.

Thanks James, I am related to the Goodpaster/Goodpasture family, some

AN OLD LETTER
Recently in looking over some papers and books, Capt. Joseph R. Moore, who
was a member of the 24th Indiana Volunteers during the Civil War, found the
following letter in an old and unused book. We are not saying what kind of
book
(unused) is was. Probably some of our readers can guess. The letter was
written by Fred Butler, a member of that regiment to Henry Comingore, at
that time
editor of the American Eagle, in Paoli, Ind. Fred Butler had worked in
that
office prior to the war as a printer. It will be noticed that among others,
the letter states that he was wounded in the thigh in the battle. He died
later from the effects of the wound. Capt. Moore is unable to state how
he came
in possession of the letter, long ago forgotten. but is was probable that
it
came into his possession about the time it was written, and never reached
the
party for which it was intended. The letter is as follows:
Big Black River
Rear of Vicksburg 12 miles
May 20, 1863
Friend Comingore; I have about ten minutes to drop you a few lines. We were
in a hard fought battle on the 16th inst. at Champion Hill. Capt. Wellman,
killed; W.G. Davis, killed; E. F. Butler wounded in thigh; I. N. Breeden, in
head (badly); Cor. Wm. L. Hammond, in both legs (badly); E. J. Witsman, in
right thigh (badly); M. Charles, in right knee (very badly), leg not yet
amputated, maybe he will save his leg; W. Glicks, left arm off, also shot
in left
breast and right hand (badly); H. C. Witsman, left forefinger off; Jacob
Miller, in right shoulder (slight); Vance Campbell, in left shoulder
(slight);
William Easter, in head (slight); J. J. Kenley in hand (slight); A.
Goodpastur,
in hand (slight); George W. Rawlings, D.L. Okes, W. S. Crow, H. L. Waldrip
and
J. S. Heath taken prisoners.Heath and Crow were wounded before taken. I will
be able for duty in four weeks. I will write as soon as we get to
Vicksburgh,
which will be in two or three days. Our wounded are doing fine. Two or
three
I have not mentioned, as they only got slight wounds. Hain's Bluffs were
taken this morning. Our division lost 1,350 in killed, wounded and
missing. We
have here in sight of our camp 7,400 Rebel prisoners. Our men are thumping
Vickburgh now. Tell the friends of all the above named persons how their
poor
boys are wounded. E. F. Butler
A. Goodpastur, who is mentioned in the above letter, had been visiting his
niece, Mrs. M.L. Miller, in this city the past week. He has many relatives
and
friends in this section of the State. He is now 88 years old, but gets
around
like a man of fifty. He is in the horse and mule business at New Orleans,
Louisiana, and makes a visit each year to his relatives in this section.

I am looking for information on Burgess Duvall,The last census I found him in was 1850,Liberty township,Shelby County with his wife Mary[Polly] nee Mullins and their 8 children.
Margaret-15,John-14,Daniel-12,Amanda-10,Francis=8,Mary C.-4,Juliana-2,and James-8months.
In 1860 Mary was in Illinois as head of household.I am assuming that Burgess died between 1850 & 1860,but cannot verify.I would appreciate any info on him.

I would be interested in info on Mr. & Mrs. C. H. Erickson and daughter Claire Ann, who was bornJan. 1, 1926.
I believe he might have been a minister in Shelbyville and moved on to Indianapolis.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I did a little census search. B.C. was the son of John Jefferson
GOODPASTURE. Looks like, according to 1880 census, Overton Co TN, John was
son of F.M. GOODPASTURE, his parents also born in TN. Maybe no
connection to yours, unless it was further back than that.

Do you think you might be related to the Goodpasture family of TN? I am not
connected to the family, but know of them, as in B.C. Goodpasture
Chrisitian School in Nashville TN, Bill Goodpasture, minister of Huntingdon TN.
