Robert Close was the son of John and Mary GRAHAM Close. He joined the 83^rd Regiment Ohio Volunteer Infantry July 18, 1862. He enlisted for a three year term. Below are letters he had written to his family while fighting in the Civil War. Some of the letters are in poor shape and I had to leave spaces where they were unreadable. Additional thanks must be given to Tom Biehl and his help translating the letters. Almon Good's letters home while he was stationed on the Battleship Arizona from December 1940 to December 1941. The letters paint a picture of the life of a sailor before the bombing of Pearl Harbor. 1929 Honor Roll Wayne County Soldiers' and Sailors' Home Residents A CONDENSED HISTORY OF THE CITIZEN SOLDIER OF WAYNE COUNTY Compiled and Published by Wayne County Barracks No. 206 Veterans of WWI Revolutionary War War of 1812 Black Hawk War Civil War World War I soldiers World War II Soldiers
