Remembering

I did a fast pass through my Ahnentafel chart and got info on four ancestors who served in the military. Here they are:

Ebenezer Harris of Galien, Michigan
--US Civil War 1862-65, 5th Sergeant, Co. E, 12th Regiment, Michigan Infantry. Fought at Shiloh. Great-grandfather, d.1908.

James Henry Orrell of Middlesex, Virginia
--US Civil War, 1863-64, Private, Co. A, 109th Militia & Co. I, 55th Virginia Infantry. GG-grandfather, d.1900.

Evelyn Orrell MacDonald of Wilmington, North Carolina
--WW II, 1944-45, Corporal, WAC. Grandmother, d.1967.

Harland J Harris of Galien, Michigan and Madison, Wisconsin
--WW II, 1940-45, Master Sergeant, 82nd Airborne. D-day glider pilot. Purple Heart, Bronze Star. Father, d.1946.

My grandmother's second husband, William Anson MacDonald, had served in the Army in WW I but never talked about it. He was the man I called "grandaddy."
