Just about the time this website received a major facelift in the summer of 2011, I had written a post about the wartime wedding of one Horace Q. Judd. That story is told in the post A Wartime Wedding in the 17th Connecticut Volunteer Infantry. For those who recall the original story, it was on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of Reverend and Mrs. Judd that the story of their wartime wedding made national news. Jim was kind enough to send along some family photos of the Judd family. In the photo at left are Horace and Ellen Judd.
In the original post I wrote that Horace Judd was captured on the first day of fighting at Barlow’s Knoll and was seemingly able to escape his captors on the march south. Family lore, however, says that Horace was too sick to march and was left behind when the Confederates retreated, being nursed back to health by a woman in town.
My thanks to Jim for the additional information om Horace Judd.
