"Mr. Edgcomb
The Last Cortland Veteran
Died in 1953
Donated by Tent 63, DUV"
Unfortunately, this isn't
Sergeant Martin Edgcomb, of the 76th NY, who died in 1920. It's an interesting bit of Cortland history, though.
Mary Ann Kane of the Cortland County Historical Society notes:
"John H. Lane, supposedly last Civil War vet to die - 7/17/42. Local (Cortland Co.) 76'ers seem to have died prior to 1935"
Images on this row are from November 2000 eBay sale of album which had pictures of 76th Soldiers, plus other CdV's (same source as Harrison Whitney and Wainwright CdV's)
Note: album was auctioned again in March 2003. It sold for over $550
