Camp Mouton #41, UCV, Mansfield,
LA, est. 1891
photo abt. 1900
Photo above is reproduced in Slawson's 1967 History
of DeSoto Parish, with names as shown below, but it's hard to tell whether
the "rows" indicated run vertically or horizontally. There appear
to be 48 people therein. Forty-seven names are shown below, but "Greenings"
may indicate that the seated lady is Rebecca [Bullock] Greening, wife of
Camp member Swepson W. Greening. The young lady on the far right
is probably Lucille Williams, daughter of Camp member Boling Williams.
If you can identify others in this photo, please

NOTE: I think the man 4th from
left (in my photo he is 4th from right) is my gg grandfather, John Abernathy
Dixon (1830-1901). Although he wasn't in the
Battle of Mansfield, he did live at Longstreet/Grand Cane until his death
in 1901. The sword is a possible clue also as he was Major of the
12th Infantry Regiment at the
end of the war under the command
of Joe Johnston. He was also paroled at
Vicksburg.
