stratasfan Posted August 11, 2021 #1 Posted August 11, 2021 Wondering if anyone can help ID anything from the uniform and insignia in this picture! Mom's working on a family history project about a family from Massachusetts. Here is the picture. Would love to know what that uniform and insignia is! :) Thanks! -Elizabeth Close-up:

stratasfan Posted August 11, 2021 Author #3 Posted August 11, 2021 Here is the writing under the picture:
themick Posted August 11, 2021 #4 Posted August 11, 2021 "Henry Lyman Reed aged 14 -- 1862 Taken at military school"
BEAST Posted August 17, 2021 #5 Posted August 17, 2021 That's a very nice image. Do you know where in Massachusetts he lived? There are a couple of Henry L. Reeds on Fold3 who enlisted late in the war (1864 & 1865) that may be him after he left military school.
