Re: Four Wars

Neat picture - looks like an WW1 18 lb. field gun behind them.

Re: Four Wars

Great photo Ken;
I looked up Mr. Alley and he served in the 6th WV Infantry from 64 to 65.
A newspaper article states he was pretty active all his life, with a special interest in livestock and horses.
The World War 1 vet has an unusual name (Yoho?) possibly a nickname.
Thanks for sharing..
Kindest Regards;

Yoho is not a nickname. It's of Swiss origin, the original Swiss spelling is Joho. See this website:

Although the man in the picture is a WWI vet, if you input Yoho into the Civil War Soldiers and Sailors database you get quite a few returns, all Federal. Several of the men below served in WV regiments. As such they could be related to the WWI Yoho since he is also from WV.

Re: Four Wars

Yoho is a common last name in the Marshall Co. WV area. There used to be a Yoho School.

There are quite a few Yohos in WV, Western Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio. Also there is Kermit Yoho on the Vietnam Veterans Wall in DC who was from the Parkersburg area.

Looking at the Yoho Family website it was interesting to read that some Yohos in the Ohio Valley had their bank accounts frozen in 1941 because some beaureaucrat thought they were Japanese. That must have really P.O.'d the ones who were veterans. :angry_smi

Re: Four Wars

I am currently student teaching in Marshall county and there are several Yohos that I have met. I will have to print that picture out and drive around seeing if I can find the location of where it was taken sometime.

I'd love to see a "then and now" comparison shot.

I've spent some time in WV (Harrison County) and the nice thing is that the towns there change very slowly. I'm sure you'll find the location.

Re: Four Wars

Just an update to my earlier postings. I did manage to locate the spot where the picture was taken today. It turns out I had driven by it numerous times and never noticed as it was on a side street. It is located in Cameron, WV and the field gun is still there. I will try to figure out how to post a picture on here when I get a chance for a "then and now" comparison. Also another interesting note is that the owner of the town's funeral home is named Charles Anderson and he supposedly bears a strong resemblance to the gentleman in the picture. I suppose it may be his grandfather.

Re: Four Wars

Brandon,

Great job finding the spot. If you need some help shoot me the picture by email

kraia@comcast.net and I will upload it for you.
