I have a 5 1/2" by 9 1/4" photograph of 18 fine gentleman dressed in tails.
Not sure what date the photo was taken. Henry Hawkins, my grandmothers adopted
father died in 1920 and he looks younger in the photo than in later photos. I
would guess 1895 to 1900, but that is just a guess. The other 17 men are
listed below:
Top row: Henry Hawkins - Tom White - John Conley - Geo Lewis - Doc Chenoworth
- Tom Price - Henry Nichols - Geo Longfellow - George Perkins & Jim Kinsey.
Bottom Row: Jesse Hubbard - Jonah Campbell - Egna Nye - Martin Eckerle - Mart
Hamilton - Talf Nichols - Billie Woods - John Barnes
In a second photograph 3" by 4" taken much later, Henry now has a white beard
and seems the chapter got much smaller, only seven men in this one. This one
also listed G.A.R.
Talf Nichols - Henry Hawkins - Mart Hamilton - Martin Eckerle - Dave Kinsey -
Tom White - Lurn Bowen;
Anyone related to these men and would relate what G. A. R. was and stood for.
I thought it was a Civil War society but could not find it on Cyndi's list.
I can scan a send a copy anyone that would like one and can send a hard copy
for a minimum fee. (cost)
