No we don't. We have looked and looked, but we've never found one. I don't know if there are any military pictures of his regiment or not, and if so where they could be found. We didn't even know who he was until we moced to WV. Hubby didn't know anything about his family beyond his grandparents. When we moved here where his ancestors lived, we began to dig into the past and found a lot of his forebears. We found out somehow that he was buried in the cemetary in Gallipolis, Ohio, just across the river. We went over one day to look for his stone and when we got there the cemetary was HUGE. But not to be deterred, we started a systematic search. It didn't take us too long to find it. It was a gratifying moment. I sure would like to have a picture of him, but that family didn't keep too many records. There are still gaps in our search. They were simple rural people and just keeping body and soul together was hard enough.
