I don't know how to get this posted nation-wide. But, I would like to
see this original document returned to a member of the original
family. My mother-in-law bought a picture frame at an estate sale in
Tucson, AZ. When she took the picture out and removed the cardboard
from behind it, a very delicate, old, and yellowed piece of paper fell
out. This is a summary of what was written and readable on the paper:
===========================================

For: Mark CROSBY, Jr.
Private, Company B, 16th Regiment

>From Yarmouth, Massachussetts
Entered service in 1860 and left service 1864

He was a clerk in the Union Army.

=================================================
Help me post this for others to read. If you know someone who might
be interested in this document, please E-Mail a reply to my inquiry.
A life is not lost when it is known to future generations. Help me
keep Mark CROSBY, Jr. alive for his family.
Forward this message to anywhere you think might help.
Happy Hunting!
