Joshua Walker

This is Joshua WALKER, Stan Magnesen's great-great grandfather who fought in the Civil War.  Joshua married Judith RORIE.  If you are related to Joshua & Judith, please get in touch with Stan Magnesen at [email protected] 
The photo on the left is actually a photo of a tintype, taken by Stan Magnesen.  The tintype had been lacquered and when the lacquer aged it became cloudy.  Obviously it was in an oval frame.  The photo on the right is the result of many hours of digital enhancement on my (Vanessa's) part.  When you get to this level of enhancement, it becomes largely guesswork, art and intuition which is why the photo on the left is here too.
