roscoedoh Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 Nice avatar Tom. How is the SCV working out for you? My dad is a member of Horace Randall camp. I should probably join Stone Fort, but I need to get into what I just joined before I pursue any other organizations. Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShooterTom Posted August 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 Hey Jason, It's working out well, I am enjoying it. I haven't been to every meeting. I'm hit and miss.

fritz Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 mrs fritz had kinfolks here during the War of Northern Agression. One of her great, etc. grandfathers fought with the North in the Illinois Volunteers (on her father's side of the family), and her great, etc. grandfather on her mother's side of the family fought for the South. Not sure what unit he was in, but I have a photo of her Union kin. He is pictured in this reunion photo taken around 1900 of the survivors of that Illinois Company of the GAR. I believe he is on the right seated---- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/0603/fritz/garpost522.jpg fritz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
911rat Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 Nice pic Fritz! If you want to see if you can find out what unit he was with try; http://www.itd.nps.gov/cwss/Personz_Search1.cfm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fritz Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 In his obituary, it reads, "Mr. Hill served with credit through the Civil War as a member of Company K, 127th Illinois Volunteers. " He was a very active member of the veterans organizations after the war. I will always wonder if he maybe was in a battle that put him up against mrs fritz' other kinfolks from the South. My folks didn't get here until the late 1800's. My great, etc. grandfather was a shoemaker in Germany, although he had the same name as a famous gunmaker from Belgium. Heck, I though that was where I got my interest in guns, never have been interested in shoemaking. But it was a necessary profession in Germany at the time. Just as guns were. fritz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My G. G. Grandfather -157th Virginia Militia Company B G. G. Uncle - 24th Virginia Infantry don't remember the company going by memory Still working on the geneaology seems they were more. I just need to verify them first. The unique thing about my Family is that they all belonged to the Old German Baptist Church (the Dunkards, the Church of the Brethen etc.) Which didn't believe in war, The church elders denounced the Confedercy as being against the will of God. If you broke church teachings you were booted out. So it is interesting that I have Confederates at all in my line. As my camp commander put it, My Grandfather saw those theiving Yankees coming over the hill and he decided not to lay down I haven't even scratched the surface of my same family in PA that were in the Union Army. there are not enough hours in the day! sigh.
