the Catawba Rangers, commanded by Captain John Cantzon Foster" who was also a pall bearer at his funeral in 1902.

Jane Curry Brown and John Madison Perry married in Kershaw County on 21 April 1864. This photograph is her
wedding picture. He was probably home on leave as the history of the 2nd SC Regiment indicates no major battles between
14 Dec 1863 and May 6-7, 1864 (The Wilderness, Virginia).
After moving to Lancaster, SC, he taught school and was elected deputy Coronor. He was holding an inquest
at the time of his death, just outside Lancaster.
