The
Gettysburg battlefield has many charms, and one of these is a pastoral
simplicity that successfully evokes the 19TH century. Here, horses
graze within an old-style fence at the George Rose farm along Emmitsburg Road.
The ruined barn can be seen at right. The timelessness of the scene helps
propel visitors from the modern era to the summer of 1863.
**HONORED TODAY**
CPL. FRANKLIN B. CLARY
Co. C, 147TH
New York Infantry

Cpl.
Clary, a widower who had lost his wife in 1860, enlisted in August 1862. He was
killed along what is now Reynolds Avenue, leaving the world exactly thirty-two
years after he had entered it. He is buried at Gettysburg’s National Cemetery
though a cenotaph stands in Albion Center Cemetery in Albion Center, New York.
