I have his records from that time period. What I'm hoping to find is some mention of him in the local newspaper. I would think that there was news about the home once in a while, and if I'm lucky, a picture of him. When I visited there in the early 80's, they were kind enough to give me a number of items to help me understand what living there was like. Thank you for the email address. I will contact her and see if there's anything she can do to help me. BTW, I noticed that eBay has a number of items from the Iowa Soldiers Home for sale. None that I'm interested in, but maybe others would be.
