Wesley Beers Photo Request
Hi Mr. Woodward,

Thank you so much for fulfilling my photo request for Wesley Beers. Two of his brothers married into my grandma's side of the family. He is not a direct relative to me.

I cannot imagine what kinds of experiences Wesley Beers saw in the Civil War; and then to wind up getting a disease and dieing from it!

Thank you again for taking the time to go and take the great pictures. I don't know if I'll ever get down there to see his grave in person. It's a long way from Lake Odessa, Michigan.

Thank you,
Alan Wismer
