John W. Walker-William H. Earhart-Samuel M. Zent.

Here are three men from Indiana who were in the service of the United States. I tried to find records of them but there were no reports on them in the Official records. There is a little information on, I was going to delete them then decided not to, as I know there were others looking into these names and it would be nice to be able to look into the face of ones ancestor.
