Source:  Wayne county newspapers on microfilm

These are notices from the newspapers of men that were killed or died from injuries while serving a Wayne County Union Army during the Civil War.

This was posted for about 2 weeks on the 'old site' Nov., 2004.  Then it  got lost in the moves of new sites and new computers.  Novw, 4 yrs later, it is back to stay.

When Tia came to stay with me during 2004, we went to a library to read the microfilms.  We started out finishing vital announcements but came across these death notices of our Civil War Boys.   She read and I typed, now you get to see it all.

Thanks Tia!

Smiles!
