Henry Petri information/photo


   My great-grandfather Henry and his wife Lina are buried in the Garland cemetery. Henry was a Civil War veteran who brought Lina to the area in a covered wagon soon after the war. Before joining the Union Army at Milwaukee he had been a carpenter.  He served in the 9th Wisconsin, was wounded at Newtonia Missouri and was captured and held as a war prisoner at  Fort Smith. He built two houses west of Garland, both of which are still standing. He died March 8, 1899. Lina died on July 4, 1913. 
   Although I have a lot of information about his military service and his career as a farmer/carpenter near Garland, I have not been able to locate a photo of Henry or Lina.  I am hopeful that photos exist somewhere.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Wallace  Petrie
