That their sacrifice will not be forgotten

Memorial Day 2022

Sam Anderson is my great-great grandfather. Union army, 5th Kentucky Cavalry, Company E. He was mustered in April 30, 1862 Burkesville, Kentucky and mustered out May 3, 1865 in Louisville, Kentucky. His three brothers served in the same regiment: James, William, and Wilson.

Sam Anderson (1842-1909) came home with his health ruined, dying from TB. My great-grandmother, his daughter, Alcy Anderson Short, took care of him and died of TB a couple years later.

Photo is of him with another daughter, Sarah Anderson Shoopman. Other photo is of his wife, Fetna Jane Riley Anderson, who lived to be 100, my father getting to spend the summer with her.
