Thanks again, Alan!
With your help - and that of Bryan Howerton with the Arkansas brothers, I've now been able to 'put faces' on all of Joel Ashcraft's sons, each having served as a Confederate soldier. I have a far greater appreciation for what they all sacrificed and endured!
Perhaps now would be an appropriate time for me to re-visit to our local Confederate Cemetery at Shelby Springs. The experience will be more solemn and more meaningful than ever.
