Today, 150 years ago, my Great Granduncle, 19 year old Sgt. Theodore Schreiner, Co. K, 6th IA Volunteer Infantry Regiment died in prison camp, Camp Oglethorpe, GA…Forever Young.
A very impressive day of service at Lineville Methodist Church! I want to thank all the Riflemen who made the trip to save the beautiful G.A.R. stained glass window from demolition. A fantastic job, ‘Boys’…Well Done, Brothers! You make me proud to be part of this honorable group!
In Admiration, Cpl Stahr
