Halifax G.A.R. Members Identified in 1910 Photo
Posted By Norman Gasbarro on March 22, 2019
In 2016, the Halifax Area Historical Society published a photo (above) taken in 1910 of members of the G.A.R. Post #523 of Halifax, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, in its book on the History of Halifax Shoe Companies.
That photo is different than the one previously published in which a group of unidentified members of the same G.A.R. post were pictured, although the photos were taken in front of the same tree. See: Halifax Area and the Civil War.
Some of the same men are in both photos.
The Civil War veterans named in the photo at the top of this post are (left to right): Thomas Leebrick; Godfrey Sammet; Peter Koppenhaver; James Hoffman; Samuel Pottiger; Luther Pike; Isaac Lyter; John Metzger; Cornelius Waldron; Conrad Zimmerman.
