Photographer (if known)

Notes   The above newspaper clipping, reprinted in the Enquirer-Journal, was incorrect in stating that the reunion was about 1928 & to be in Tallahassee, FL.  A list of reunions from the UCV does not show any taking place in Tallahassee between 1889 - 1951.  (perhaps there was a smaller regional one there at some time)  The above clipping can be seen as a photograph within this digital collection at http://10.1.1.180/heritageroompictures/01141.htm

You will learn more information there, such as the names of the Union County men who attended this 1922 reunion.  -Patricia Poland, 2/12/2010
