Pictures of Interest 2

Please be patient. These old pictures take a while to load.


Need Help in Identifying Gentlemen Believed to be Civil War Veterans

The picture above is of a Civil War Veterans reunion. The person in the middle of the front row is Henry WC MILLER. We do not know any of the other gentlemen. Henry WC MILLER was in Company F, 31st Regiment of Indiana Volunteers. The Captain of Company F was John T. SMITH and may very well be one of the men in the picture. Henry WC MILLER and his family lived in Howesville, Indiana until 1896 when he moved to Coal City where he died. If you have any information concerning this picture, please contact the CCGSI Library below or email himam@hitter.net

We have several pictures at the Library, some have been identified and some have not. Stop in today to see if you recognize anyone. Several of the pictures have been donated to the Library as orphans and we would like to see them get to some one in the family. If you can verify the identities of the orphaned photos you can adopt them free of charge.

We have many group pictures and newspaper pictures with names in the family files for your research. Stop in the Library to see what we have today.
