After 40 Years.

A wartime story that has developed
within the last few weeks was started
at Andersonville and ended at New
Brighton, Pa Some time ago Rev.
Thomas w. Swan received letter from
the Rev. j. w. Goodman, pastor of the
Presbyterian Church in Greensboro, ".
c., in which the pastor said that while
visiting some friends in Greensboro he
was looking over an album Of photo
graphs, and was particularly struck
with the fine face in one very old pho
tograph. In reply to questions the
owner of the photograph said that it
was a picture that his grandfather had
taken out OF dead Yankees pocket on
the battlefield. He was permitted to
take the photograph cut of the album,
and found. an address on the back, and
asked If he might find out from that
address IL the parties owning the photo
graph were yet living. He then secured
the address of Rev. Thomas W. Swan,
and wrote him, telling him the name
that was on the picture, and asking il
any of the relatives were living. The
name upon the picture was Mrs Ham
nah Webb, a woman well known in (
Beaver County. Pa, long ago. The :
Rev. Mr.. Swan showed the picture to a
number of local people who lived Id I
Beaver County during the war, and it !
was positiefy identified by Tax Collec-i

was at that time a resident of Fallston.
