Welcome To The Emmet County, Michigan Civil War Homepage!
Hi, my name is Denise Frederick and I maintain this Civil War page.
Pictured above is a photograph, dated 24 May 1951, submitted by Louise Foltz of Petoskey, featuring Emmet County, MI Civil War veterans. The caption under the picture is as follows:
"MEMORIAL DAY 30 YEARS ago saw 28 members of Lombard Post Grand Army of the Republic, assembled at the court house in Petoskey to honor the Civil War dead. All have since passed on. This photo was taken by John Foley. Six of the men couldn't be identified by Robert Tripp, Nathan Stone, Lewis White, or Winfield Hinds. Read these names and if you know who they are, drop the Review a card. Front row, left to right are: E. A. Dunston, Melvin Burch, Sylvester Puckett, W. R.
