The younger brother of my 2x greatgrandfather (Augustus
Heffley-a civil war vet also), Zacharias Heffley, was at
Andersonville. He survived, but contracted incurable t.b.
He applied for a pension for war service,the
documentation of which dragged on for 4-5 years.(I have
his pension application). He finally committed suicide
with a straight razor in order for his widow and child to
collect. Really sad! Susan Eppley Landrith
