Bryan and Alan, the Benjamin F. Lowe buried in Parker County, Texas, is pictured on Find-A-Grave, and he is in uniform. He is pictured holding a pistol and possibly an Arkansas Toothpick. Alan, you're the uniform man. Perhaps you can tell something from this photo.

I'd be interested to see your opinion posted.
