Not sure if this is rare. McPherson's Corps marched through Raymond in the afternoon of May 12 and camped on edge of town after fighting a battle 3 miles south in the morning. These men could be of Hall's Miltita - or they could be well known rebel citizens. Many were arrested and sent to prison based on preference of local commanders after Lincoln's suspension of habeas corpus.

Post a note to the Friends of Raymond and let the family hisotrians their identify the men.

Thanks.
