Hi, looking for anyone who can help me out with information On Augustus
W. Whipple. I think I found him serving in the civil war inf. unit 48
for Ohio. I was wondering if anyone had any of the books below and and
could do a look up. I hate to go to the National Archives, it takes so
long and I have never gotten any information that I sent for. Any help
in this matter would be most appreciated. I could trade you look ups in
the California Death index 1905-1980.
Thank you
Suzanne
