My great great grandfather was Joe R Landes, and it seems that led a historical life, having served in the Iowa 6th Infantry in the Civil War, and then acting as Sheriff of Lucas County for a time. My grandmother spoke of him often when I was young, but her pictures of him and letters they exchanged have unfortunately been lost. If you have any tips of where I could learn more, please feel free to let me know. In the meantime, I will see if I can find an older photo of him on Ancestry- my guess is that since he was still alive when this photo was taken, he has to be in there somewhere!
