Notes:

John A. Farmer and his brother Osmond (Oss) both served during the Civil War, but on opposite sides.  I don’t have any information that they were ever present at the same battle.  I can’t help but wonder though, how could they look across the field of battle and not wonder if one of the soldiers facing them from the other side might be their brother?
