I visited three of my buddy’s ancestors gravesites from the 142 PA a few weeks ago, around the anniversary of their passing. (2) brothers (Enos and Adam) were killed on July 1, 1863.  Their great great uncle Sam took two reb mini-balls that day, but lingered a few more days in the Gettysburg Lutheran Seminary, which was used as a hospital.  I left (3) shiny new Lincoln pennies right there on his grave stone.

 

My favorite Civil War song is “While we were marching thru Georgia”
