Favorite Family Heirlooms
I have a sampler my great, great grandmother embroiderd in 1859 as a young bride in Prussia before she immigrated.
I have my great, great grandfather's (not the one married to the aforementioned gggm) army discharge from 1865. I also have a photo of him in uniform from 1863-64, and his G.A.R. badge. Also a New York Gettysburg Veteran medal from when he attended the dedication of the New York monument there.
*Edit - photos added.
