I stumbled across a very cool site online, the Woburn Public Library's "Woburn's Civil War Veterans: Carte-de-Visite Portraits from Woburn Post 161 G.A.R." This collection of photo calling cards depicts individual men in what looks like late middle age, based on the white hair, and gives his residency, occupation, and age at enlistment, and the unit in which he served. None were in the 3rd MA Heavy Artillery, but if you are looking for an ancestor who lived in Woburn, MA circa 1890, check out this site. More information is in the online finding aid. A salute to the Dr. Thomas J. Glennon Archives of the Woburn Public Library!
