Honoring one of the Soldiers of the 6th Hugh Flannery

             We were honored to meet a decendent of one of the boys of the 6th Battery while we were at Lone Rock June 10.  Pictured encircled above is Hugh Flannery. 1838 -1913. He was seriously injured at the Battle of Corinth Oct. 4 1862. He had been hit by shrapnel and and lost an eye and had many other body injuries including being bayonetted.  In that battle 5 were killed and 20 were wounded from the 6th.  Hugh was discharged January 1863 due to his wounds. That did not stop him. He married in 1864 and had many children.  His occupation in the 1870 and 1880 census had his occupation listed as saloon keeper. He is buried in St. Joseph's Catholic Cemetery in Avoca, Wisconsin.

12 Pound Napoleon Cannon

Milton Wisconsin 2016......Last year we were using an original cannon from the Civil War. 12 lb. Napoleon Gun # 276.  The National Guard has pulled their agreement after 24 years.  We are renegotiating the agreement and hope to bring this cannon back to the Wisconsin public.
Addendum 6.21.2017 After 24 years of caring for tube #276 the National Guard denies the 2nd Wisconsin Infantry Association, a non-profit group.  Denies usage of the bronze Napolean tube. Years of fundraising and usage has gone to waste. They could not prove ownership, but took the tube away under false notice.
