11th Reunion Reminder! Sept.13, 2014 marks the 11th annual Descendants of the 136th New York Infantry Regiment Reunion at the old Parade Grounds of the Regiment at Letchworth State Park, Portage, New York. This is near the Portageville entrance to the Park. The Reunion is FREE and open to EVERYONE. The gathering starts at 9 a.m. and concludes at 4 p.m. Susan Mee, who worked so hard to have a proper military cemetery headstone for Lt. Jacob Stull Galentine installed in time for Memorial Day services, will be our guest speaker. Sue’s powerpoint program is at 1:30 p.m. There are restrooms, picnic tables and a building where many diaries, letters, and photos of the men who served, etc., will be on display. If you have items, photos, etc., belonging to your ancestor who served with this unit, please come and share. Renew friendships and make new ones. Join us to help honor the men who went off to War with the 136th New York Regiment, many never returning to their homes and families. We now have 10 books of men with pictures that are listed by company, and also new letters from the men. Letchworth is a “take in and take out” park. You are welcome to bring your own picnic and enjoy the day learning more about the 136th Infantry and the men who fought with the Regiment. Just remember to take your trash with you when you leave. For more information, contact John DuBois, historian, (585) 226-9397, jd_historian@yahoo John is looking forward to getting reacquainted with descendants who have attended in the past and meeting new descendants and friends. Please remember that this Reunion is open to EVERYONE. You do NOT have to be a descendant of a 136th NY Infantry soldier to attend.
