Here is a cool grouping from the Buckeye state. These items came from the estate of David S. Moriart (1841-1919) who served in Company A, 31st Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry and his brother John who served in the 62nd OVI. There is a cased ninth plate tintype of young Private David Moriart. The other image is a great one. It is a gutta percha cased sixth plate colored tintype of John Moriart holding a Colt .31 caliber pocket revolver and saber style bayonet. There is an original leather percussion cap pouch in relic condition. There are a couple of Civil War dated Bibles with one being 1862 and the other is dated 1864. There is a, a G.A.R. membership medal, a 1902 dated G.A.R. encampment medal. There is also an assorted religious ephemera (not specifically related to Moriart), newspaper clippings, early documents, a 9" celluloid button featuring Moriart and his wife. There is a pewter 4-1/4th inch pistol size powder flask. There is also a snapshot of Moriart and a relative. David lived in Newark Ohio after the war, and was buried in New Lexington Ohio, John
