Conyers, John Murry, 1842-1925

Scope and Contents This collection includes one sheet of paper, 7x9 inches, with 14 locks of hair, braided and unbraided, tied with colored ribbons which was presented to John M. Conyers on the day of his induction into Company G, 11th Indiana Regiment, on March 29, 1865 during the U.S. Civil War. The names of the women who contributed locks of their hair are handwritten in pencil; at least two of them have the surname Bennett, so they are probably relatives.
