I am an Otterbein College (now University) graduate, retired from the Greene Co. OH public library system. I have an interest in Civil War soldiers because my gr-gr-grandfather, Sgt. Maxfield Hite, served for 3 years in the 31st OVI and my husband's gr-gr-grandfather, Pvt. Robert Thuma, served in the 52nd VA. He died on June 9, 1862 at the battle of Port Republic VA.
