Hi Marty -
yup, Model and Great Western Furnace is in District 8 of Stewart County. Am pretty confidant that yer kin and mine had interactions of some sort there Between The Rivers....!!!
One of the Byrd uncles (John Ashley Byrd) buried in the Bailey-Byrd Cemetery there in LBL may have also served with Forrest, but I have not been able to confirm this so far. The CSR simply consists of one card and does not supply enough info for confirmation or rejection.
Will also look up James Hicks in the TITCW rosters tonight and see if I can find his CSA unit, company, and rank for you.
regards,
Kenneth Byrd
