Sarah Jane Huffman's first husband was Charles Wesley Morris. Charles was a soldier in the 47th Ohio Vol. Infantry. On July 22nd, 1864, Charles was killed in the battle for Atlanta. The below document is a furlough issued to Charles a few months before his death. I believe I have managed to track down the exact skirmish in which he died. This original document was passed down to me by my grandmother Sarah Margaret Skelly (nee Dove) |
