Hi Rose,

Just have a question about your Message. It says that WILLIAM was a Major
in the 2nd Battalion Infantry and he died in 1884 at the age of 34. That
would mean he was 14 years old at the end of the Civil War. I know there
was a lot of young boys in the war towards the end, but don't you think
14 yrs old is a little young to hold the rank of  Major? You might want
to find out what the S.C.V.T. stood for.

Good luck,
Don Geary

P.S. If you don't mind, let me know what you find out.
