<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Figtree3, post: 2067207, member: 33&quot;]A possibility for Mr. Pettibone --</p><p><br /></p><p>Francis (Frank) A. Pettibone. He mostly lived in Ashtabula, Ohio but for a few years right after the Civil War he lived and practiced law in Geneva. He married a woman from Geneva, and I assume that&#039;s why he decided to live there for a while.</p><p><br /></p><p>Somebody posted two obituaries that I just found. It&#039;s not proven that this is the same person but -- he was well educated and I think somebody who would have a book re-bound with his name printed in gold leaf on the spine is likely to have been. To me it seems likely. The only things that give me a little pause are that others of course could have the same initials and surname and... the obituaries don&#039;t mention him being captured in the war.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://cruelcoulter.com/family/attachment.php?attachment_id=99" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://cruelcoulter.com/family/attachment.php?attachment_id=99" rel="nofollow">https://cruelcoulter.com/family/attachment.php?attachment_id=99</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://cruelcoulter.com/family/attachment.php?attachment_id=97" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://cruelcoulter.com/family/attachment.php?attachment_id=97" rel="nofollow">https://cruelcoulter.com/family/attachment.php?attachment_id=97</a></p><p><br /></p><p>One of the obits says he was only 43 years when he died. He was born in Sept. 1843, so died in 1886-1887.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
