I have come across an article about the life and death of GEORGIA WADE-McCLELLAN. She died in Sept. 5, 1927, in the hospital located in Carroll, Iowa, in Carroll County....Georgia Wade-McClellan's home in Gettesburg was the site of one of the big battles. Her sister, Jennie, was the only civilian killed in the Battle of Gettysburg...she was killed by a stray bullet as she was baking more bread for the soldiers. Georgia was very important in the W.R.C.A...both nationally and in the state of Iowa, after she and her husband and son moved here after the battle. This article states as follows: "Her only monument is a tree planted in her honor by the Newton, Ia., W.R.C.A. A monument has been erected to her sister at Gettysburg". Both Georgia and her sister helped the military men during the Battle of Gettysburg... the actual battle was centered around their home only two blocks from Cemetery Hill.
My question is: do you have any knowledge of the said TREE that was planted in honor of her? My guess is there would be some kind of plaque with it. If you do have such knowledge, is it possible to take a photograph and scan it to me?
