A first blogpost about John Isaacson, my paternal Great-Grandfather, can be found here.
I have found more photos which would have been taken when John and Carrie Isaacs were celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. They were married December 25, 1865 after the Civil War ended. He was not mustered out immediately but remained in TX until August 15, 1865.
I have also included photos of Amanda Sophia Isaacs Groves and her husband, William Floyd Groves who are the parents of James Burton Groves.

Amanda Sophia Isaacs had gone to Montana in her mid 20's
to homestead. There she met William Floyd Groves who was working for a
surveying company and as a harvest laborer. They were married in
Billings, MT on November 28, 1910. The photo on the right is their wedding photo.
