Thanks to Joyce Whitis of Stephenville TX, we have identified 25 of the 26 Civil War Veterans shown in the July 11, 1924 photo taken on the steps at the north entrance to the Erath County Courthouse by Stephenville's famous photographer, Baxley. ..Let me know if you can identify Number "26" in the photo.

Please send the military unit/s (Confederate and probably a few Union) in which each of the following soldiers served, along with their vital data, i.e. full name, birth, death, marriage data, and number of children.
