GAR Veteran

Gettysburg
Albert Woolson. CiC GAR. The Last Survivor. This is a statue erected to remember the Union Veterans. It was be the auxiliary to the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War--of which I am registered. I have an old spoon passed down to me where my great grandfather William Taylor Carroll had attended a GAR encampment. I wonder if he met Woolson, who here wears his medal on his breast, a pin on his lapel, and the GAR hat insignia on an officer slouch hat. His buttons carry the US Eagle. My 2nd great grandfather, Noah May, did not survive the War. 1955 by Avara Fairbanks
