dave in iowa

Hi Pappy, me again I found this pin ,it's about the size of a quarter , it was just 10 feet or so from where i found the button ( 8 inches or so deep), belong to james hill civil war medal of honor winner from our town , he built the house in 1855 and lived and died ther after the war.. His story can be seen at ... chaplin james hill 21 first iowa infantry , Havent been able to find out just how old it may be , a local guy is checking also, but i would greatly value your opinion. this is a picture of the pin , i couldnt get a clear camera shot , so i took a picture of the picture and this is it , also here's the button again So i may loan it to the local historical society for display , as he was very influential in the early progress of our town i thought it might be later than the civil war period,.

Really nice finds Dave
CONGRATULATIONS

DAVE, James Hill was a Medal of Honor recipient from Iowa. The info I had on Hill was somehow deleted BUT you may go to the library and find info concerning him in the following books:

"The history of Henry County Iowa" and The history of Johnson County Iowa"

Hope this helps a little.

GREAT FIND BUDDY !
