John Ritland Family Photos

I regret that I do not have any photos of my great grandfather from the time of his service in the Civil War, and I doubt that any still exist. However, I am grateful for these three photos of John Ritland seated with his family. The first image below I believe is from the 1880's. The second photo I would guess is from around 1900, and the third picture was probably taken between 1910 and 1915. He passed away in 1917, still suffering from the chronic diarrhea he contracted during the war. John Ritland is buried in Roland, Iowa.
