I wanted to make a tribute illustration for Adam. I'm so sorry to anyone who was there to see this awful event happen. My thoughts are with Adam's family and friends. He was a brilliant player and will forever be our 47 💛🖤 @PanthersIHC #nottinghampanthers #adamjohnson

The lady circled in red was Lucy Higgs Nichols. She was born into slavery in Tennessee, but during the Civil War she managed to escape and found her way to 23rd Indiana Infantry Regiment which was encamped nearby. She stayed with the regiment and worked as a nurse throughout the war.

After the war, she moved north with the regiment and settled in Indiana, where she found work with some of the veterans of the 23rd. She applied for a pension after Congress passed the Army Nurses Pension Act of 1892 which allowed Civil War nurses to draw pensions for their service.

The War Department had no record of her, so her pension was denied. Fifty-five surviving veterans of the 23rd petitioned Congress for the pension they felt she had rightfully earned, and it was granted.

The photograph shows Nichols and other veterans of the Indiana regiment at a reunion in 1898. She died in 1915 and is buried in a cemetery in New Albany, Indiana.

@chiddickstree My aim is to be the Family Historian/Storyteller, I've come to realise that it's really the stories that add context to the lives that have gone before 🙂

@Kathryn11Baird Just a wonderful photo 😊

[Scarred for Life @ScarredForLife2]

In 1976, BBC early evening show NATIONWIDE reported on 'The Hexham Heads', a story which involved ancient objects, poltergeist activity, and a bloody werewolf - and seemingly presented it as fact, scaring the pants off any kids watching! Real-life Folk Horror at teatime.

@chiddickstree Exactly why I began my genealogy journey 🙂

ADAM JOHNSON 1994 - 2023 ShawMind is very sad to learn about the horrific incident that occurred during the Sheffield Steelers v Nottingham Panthers ice hockey game last night.

@GeneaVlogger I think the last one definitely looks like it could follow on from No 6 - especially with the flourishes on the N - but the I looks a lot harsher 🤔
