I believe your ancestor Arthur was the Civil War veteran, right?

I believe that he was a drummer in the Civil War. I remember as a young girl visiting my great aunt, Lena Stutler, in Clarksburg, WV. She showed us his drum that she had, but I was certainly not old enough to appreciate it. It is a shame that my interest in history and family did not really blossom until my grandparents were gone. What I would give to have a day with them now.
I hope that your aftershocks will stop soon. I cannot begin to imagine how disconcerting it must be.
Admin reply: Yes, I remember reading he was a drummer. Even my branch of the family is proud of that (well, I am, and have told others about it). Wow, you actually saw the drum?
Thanks for the diversion.
