Henry Brinker’s Civil War Reunion

This is from a handout for the 22nd Reunion of 102 OVI in 1889.

If I remember correctly, I copied this from the original that was in the possession of Thelma Rodgers, daughter of Grace (Brinker) Keyser.  Grace was the youngest child of Henry Brinker.

This was folded and the first panel was the front and the second and third were the inside.
