View all 13 ReflectionsThis was my Great Grandfather. This picture was hung in my grandmother Hayden(lippincott) home as long as I can remember. She talked about his always crying when referring to his death. She was only 5 years old when he was shot. I felt like I knew him through her words of what she remembered of him.
