Found

In the course of going through the office this week, I found the framed Civil War discharge papers for my ancestor, Daniel Harrington. I was storing it in a file cabinet for safekeeping and had forgotten it was there. It was funny looking at it again, and recognizing some of the names on the form - his C.O. and other officials. When I was a kid looking at this, I never gave them any notice. Now I feel an odd connection with them, having seen them referred to in other documents and historical accounts. The discharge notice is now hanging in the office.
