While I was fighting with my new PC, Sandra Flores posted a message on The Manning Exchange, which is an antiquated message board by today's standards, that I initially set up in 2001, before Facebook and those other social media sites began.
If you have never looked at The Manning Exchange, please click on the link on the left side.

During the early years, I had lots of people post messages but it is seldom used, except now with Sandra, and I'm so excited that she did...
She informed me her great-great-grandfather Thomas Goyen, served in the Civil War and moved to Manning.
She has some information and pictures so I'm working with her to get more of the information she has. I'm hoping she either has original photos to scan or can get someone who has them to rescan them at a higher resolution.
Here are a few she sent me.
She also has obits for Thomas and his wife so I added them to my obituary page.
This now increases the number of Civil War Veterans in my database who lived in Manning/area to 105.
