The Civil Warriors Round Table will hold its next meeting at 7PM on Wednesday, May 8th, at Weiler’s Deli in West Hills, CA. Dr. Carole Morton will visit to talk about “My Ancestor: An Andersonville Casualty.”
You have certainly heard of Andersonville, probably the most infamous hellhole in the Civil War. But, did you know that Elbert Jones, a young farmer and horse breeder, was one of the Union soldiers who died there? How did Elbert, a man with a young family in Tennessee, end up in Andersonville? What events led up to his enlistment and capture? Why did a little-known battle, lead to the call: “Remember Fort Pillow!” and its impact on Elbert? What was life like in Andersonville?
Dr. Carole Morton is an avid genealogist, exonumist and deltiologist. She has an extensive database of over 47,700 family names and is working on several genealogical histories about her family lineage.
Carole is presently Board of Trustees Chair for the Daughters of Union Veterans of the Civil War, 1861-1865 (DUVCW), based in Springfield, Illinois, having previously served as their National President. She is also active in her local DUVCW Tent, DAR Chapter and other lineage societies, as well as a member of the Los Angeles CWRT, the Pasadena CWRT, the Civil Warriors Round Table, and the Drum Barracks Garrison and Society.
An alumnus of UCLA and USC, she is a member of the California State University at Northridge Industrial Advisory Board for the School of Engineering and Computer Science.
As always, come join us before the program starts. Our members start assembling around 6PM for refreshments like the Weilers deli sandwich dinner and for the camaraderie of their fellow Civil Warriors. Meeting attendance is $5 which includes soft drinks, cookies and an entry in our book drawing. The sandwich dinner is $18 which includes attendance, a deli sandwich and exclusive Weilers side dishes. If you wish to partake of the dinner, please RSVP before noon of 5/8/19 to The Civil Warriors at: cwrtsfv@gmail.com
