Memorial Day seemed to have been a much bigger deal for those folks back then.<br /><br />My memorial day tribute was to post about my ancestor John Douglas Laurie. He fought for the 10th Connecticut Infantry during the civil war. He died in November from wounds he received on October 13, 1864.<br /><br />Regards, Jim<br /><a href="http://www.hiddengenealogynuggets.com/genealogyblog" rel="nofollow"> Genealogy Blog at Hidden Genealogy Nuggets </a>Jim (Hidden Genealogy Nuggets Blog)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15493118494172970052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-10624767424014272472012-05-26T14:50:12.331-07:002012-05-26T14:50:12.331-07:00I noticed that on your blog post for your other bl...I noticed that on your blog post for your other blog.
