I just came across your posting regarding Charles Alden Peabody, and believe he was a relative of my husband's grandmother, Ruth Brown,from Gloucester,Ma. I remember him visiting with my husband's grandmother many years ago. We have a painting of Ellen Peabody, Charles mother, hanging in our living room. If you still have the military papers, we would love to have them,although I realize it has been some time since you posted the information. Hoping to hear from you, Geraldine
