| This couple's image is one of my favorites, and I drew them over three decades ago from an old tintype. They just happen to be my great-great grandparents. I would guess this is their wedding picture. How I wish Sally Pepper, my young ancestor, would pop out of the frame and we could get to know one another! She and William (we have many Williams in our family - our grandson is named William, too,) went on to have four daughters. William enlisted in the 149th and fought in the Battle of Atlanta. He died of disease just before Union victory was declared. On this 150th anniversary of the Civil war, I remember him. |
