Just to give some Civil War and Midwestern flavor to your page.....
My great-great grandfather, John Enoch Wright, died in Chicago Hospital on March 15, 1863 and to have been buried in Macomb, IL. At the time, he was a member of Co. F, 34th Iowa. CIVIL WAR CENTENNIAL, published by the Wayne County, Iowa Historical Society, indicates that, "In January 1863, they went to Arkansas Post where they captured 5000 men as prisoners, and transported them in the dead of winter, on three small boats, to Chicago." This explains why John Enoch Wright was in Chicago. John Enoch was born in Wayne County, KY on Christmas Day 1825; he left five children.
