Inscription	:	"Father" Vet 61-65
Description	:	Thank you Carl Ingwalson for the following: The reference to "Vet 61-65" leads me to believe this may be George Halfhill who was born in Illinois and was living in Cascade, Iowa, when he enlisted at age 18 on August 23, 1862 (which correlates to a potential 1842 birth year).

The existing reference says "61" but the fact that the inscription doesn't mention the regiment makes me think the information was obtained from someone not too familiar with George's military service, merely that he served in the Civil War and the war was from 1861-1865. In the same Company and Regiment was Greenberry Halfhill, age 29, Memorial #54834902. Arlington News, Thursday, 01 Mar 1923 Death Claims Geo. A. Halfhill Goe.

We hope to be able to publish the obituary next week. Arlington News, Thursday, 08 Mar 1923 GEORGE HALFHILL George Halfhill was born in Jones County, Iowa, May 2, 1844 and died at the Soldier's Home in Marshalltown, February 24, 1923 aged seventy-eight years, nine months and twenty-two days. From his home in Jones County he enlisted at the age of eighteen in the Union Army in the 21st Iowa Company I. He was with his Company while engaged in eleven of the heaviest battles of the Civil War, missing only one battle in which his Company was engaged and that because of wounds that incapacitated him for service. While he was in service his parents moved to Delaware County settling near Almoral and here he returned after his discharge from the army. In October 1866 he was united in marriage with Mary "Jane" Dodds. Six children, five sons and one daughter, came to bless this union. Two of the sons, Frederick and Daniel, preceded the father in death. The surviving children: are: William of Grantville, West Virginia; Anna of Seattle, Washington; G. E. of Hampton, Iowa; and Edward. They continued to make their home in Delaware and Clayton County. On February 2, 1901 his wife passed to the great beyond. In August 1902 he was united in marriage with Katherine Hill who survives him. The sympathy of the community is extended to those who are bereaved by his passing.
