    The man seated at left is Prof. Wilbur A.

    LIFE Magazine, October 15, 1951 (page 47), ran a photo that showed Prof. Cogshall in 1921, standing beside a beech tree near Spencer, Indiana, which had been inscribed with data of the population center's shift, as recorded in the 1920 Census: From Google Books: books.google.com/books?id=t1QEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA46&lp...

    I guess beards were ok in the military back in those days. Neat photo, thanks for saving and posting these photographic histories.

    These are veterans of a battle that took place 50 years earlier. Possibly the last time some of them shaved.

    ..... "that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." Now 150 years after the Gettysberg Address. .
