Broome County Civil War Monument, Binghamton, NY


I can remember seeing this monument, in front of the courthouse downtown, frequently, when I was growing up. I would well imagine that it helped make me a Civil War Nut (and reenactor)!

James M. Warner



Recently I became a member of the Sons of the Union Veterans of the Civil War (SUVCW). James M. Warner, my great great grandfather, had served in the war and I joined the SUVCW through him. I've found some interesting stuff about the guy, mostly from his CW pension applications. I'll post some of that at a later date...

My cousin, Scott Payne (also a Civil War reenactor and genealogy buff) took these pictures (which I've sort of stolen from him from the "find a grave" website).

If you want to find my grave, I will be (hopefully no time soon) be buried immediately behind him - Jim Warner, not Cousin Scott).
