The above 1931 photograph appeared in the West Schuylkill Herald, Tower City, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, 30 May 1941:

The above photograph, taken about ten years ago, and published at that time in the Herald shows veterans of three wars.  Of the four shown, three have since died.  In the forefront is William H. Long, last surviving Civil War veteran in Tower City and Porter Township.  At the extreme right is Irvin Masterson, Spanish American War veteran, while to the left is Edward Stoudt, World War veteran, whose death occurred during the past year.  The other veteran in the center background, is Ralph Reiner, of Muir, who served during the World War.
