This is for Descendants of Hurley M. Collver and Rosa Belle Emmons.
Rosa's grand father was Leroy Emmons and had fought in the Civil War
starting the war as a private in 149th NY volunteers Company H and
mustering out as a CPL. This was quite an achievement as the 149th NY
saw a LOT of action and Leroy was wounded in the face at Chancellorsville.
This is a photo copy of Memoires of the 149th NY and the chapter on
Chancellorsville. For more info - visit 149th NY
