1937 Magazine Clipping of United Confederate Veteran General, J. A. Glenn, Driving A Truck."
(He wasn't a general. That "rank" was from attending reunions)

When my twin Brother where about two we sat on the lap of a older family member who was a Confederate solder in his youth. My Mother had a photo of the event. I do not recall it. |

you dont have a copy ? thats sad , i would want to have it in my albumen for posterity , i recall my grandfather telling me one day that the last civil war serviceman had died , that was early 1950s - i do know he was well over 100years old , i was pretty young then but my grandfather and i bonded over the civil war , shared that inerest till he passed away in 68 ,

thats sad , it would be something to pass on in the family and i would be proud to have it on my wall , i have an album of my life that i will leave my kids , its sorta short on anything after the kids came along but thats because they have that era of it , what they dont have is what preceded it , theres some things that may not make sense to them but maybe before i die i can add some notes that explain it all , some parts of early life is easy to understand from a photo but some not so easy to fully comprehend - ive not looked at that in a long time , im getting old , might want to put the notes in there soon

I'm lucky in that I have my maternal family's photo albums from as early as the mid-1800's from France. Each photo has the name of the person or people in that photo written on the back in ink in the most beautiful hand writing I have ever seen. ------------- Castles made of sand slip into the sea.....eventually |

you are fortunate in that someone cared a lot , mine are what my mother put together of my life , some i didnt know she had , but even tho her handwriting was beautiful she didnt note every photo - some i can fill in but my writing will be feeble these days , the other album i have is a history of both sides of my family as besyt she could trace them in the 80s back a far as she could get , my folks actually traveled tpo england , scotland , austrailia and germany seeking info to complete the volume , they also visited saipan so my mother could see where my father was when he was deplyed after they got married
