Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Veterans of the American Civil War, and we'd love to have your photo added to the group.

Here is article about Stewart Woodford en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stewart_Woodford In this NYTimes article the Times identifies him as: "General Stewart L. Woodford, former Minister to Spain, Civil War soldier, Lieutenant Governor of New York State, United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York and a prominent figure for many years in the Republican Party." (He died in 1913). select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F50D1EF83B58177A...

Russell Lee died in 1986, not sure why this shows him as still alive.

Given the date, I guess this child is advertising for the isolationist America First movement? Interesting.

JosephFinn, The authoritative forms of names used by the Library of Congress have primarily been intended to distinguish individuals with the same name, and don't necessarily show death dates. In this case, Lee's death date was probably added to his authority record (which does now have the 1986) after this photo was cataloged.

Congratulations!
This is a wonderful shot!
