Civil War Reunion

This photo of a group of unidentified men is part of a collection donated to the Decatur County Historical Society by Sarah (Woodfill) Redelman in 1982.
By scanning a small section at a high resolution, we are able to get a closer look at the GAR medal worn by the man in the middle. This picture may have been taken at one of the regimental reunions held at Greensburg in the early 1900's. The exterior of the courthouse is a clue that the photo was taken prior to 1903, when the original brick was covered with stone-like stucco.

22 September 1911, Greensburg (Ind.) Standard

8 August 1913, Greensburg (Ind.) Standard
