Item History & Price
HERE IS A VERY NICE AND CLEAN CABINET CARD PHOTO OF THE "MICHIGAN SOLDIER'S HOME." THE PHOTO IS EXTREMELY CLEAR AND SHOWS VETERANS STANDING & SITTING ON THE GROUNDS, SOME STILL IN UNIFORM. WHAT IS NICE ABOUT THIS IMAGE, IS THAT THE PHOTOGRAPH WAS ACTUALLY TAKEN BY A VETERAN SOLDIER WHO WAS ACTUALLY A MEMBER OF THE HOME. HOW COOL IS THAT. HE IS IDENTIFIED ON THE BOTTOM OF THE PHOTO AS "O. D. CARLISLE."
WITH A LITTLE RESEARCH, I WAS ABLE TO DETE...RMINE THAT HIS FULL NAME WAS "ORVILLE DANIEL CARLISLE." AT THE AGE OF 28, HE ENLISTED AS A PRIVATE ON SEPTEMBER 17, 1861, AND RECEIVED A DISTINGUISHED SERVICE DISABILITY DISCHARGE ON NOVEMBER 14, 1862, IN KEOKUK, IOWA. HE SERVED IN THE MICHIGAN 2ND. CAVALRY, COMPANY L.
MR. CARLISLE WAS BORN IN ONTARIO, NEW YORK, IN 1832 AND DIED IN NEW MARKET, ALABAMA JUNE 29, 1900. FURTHER RESEARCH INDICATES, MR. CARLISLE WAS A MEMBER OF THE "REORGANIZED CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER DAY SAINTS." RECORDS INDICATE HE WAS BAPTIZED A MEMBER SEPTEMBER 30, 1894, AT BUCHANAN, BERRIEN, MICHIGAN, BY JOHN SHOOK.
THIS IS A WONDERFUL HISTORICAL PHOTOGRAPH. THE IMAGE HAS NOT BEEN CLEANED OR ALTERED. RARELY, DO I SEE IMAGES THIS WELL PRESERVED. HAVING SAID THAT, PLEASE UNDERSTAND, GIVEN THE AGE OF THIS ITEM, YOU ARE BUYING "AS IS." THANKS FOR LOOKING.
