(Baxter and Richard would enjoy hearing from anyone who might be able to add to the biographical material that we have on Private Stephen James Warren and the Warren family. Baxter and Richard would also enjoy getting copies of other pictures of Private Stephen James Warren, especially any showing him in uniform from his days in the service, for his Find A Grave site and for the local Historical Societies.)
