Julius Franklin Howell (January 17, 1846 – June 19, 1948) joined the Confederate Army when he was 16. After surviving a few battles, he eventually found himself in a Union prison camp at Point Lookout, Maryland.

It’s likely either from the 1929 GAR Encampment in Portland, Maine (Sept. 8-13), or from the 1938 Reunion in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, which had both Union and Confederate soldiers in attendance and occurred between June 29 and July 6.
