My great-great grandfather, L.K. Harris was a captain in the 69th (company F and then batallion b after companies f & b were combined). I'm not sure what a plasterer did, and I haven't seen anything specific to your ancestor. I'd be interested in exchanging any information you have about the 69th. You can email me at kevhar72@gmail.com if you're interested.

I have a picture of some of the veterans of the 69th on my blog at http://arborfamiliae.wordpress.com/2011/02/21/these-men-were-heroes-once/

Also, I'm writing a blog tracing my great-great grandfather's service in the war. You can read this blog at http://indianasoldier.wordpress.com

I'd love to hear from you!
