BOY SOLDIER IDENTIFIED.

The article reports that a photograph of Bernard (Barney) Ross, known as Albany's Little Drummer Boy of the American Civil War, has been found and identified. He was 12 years old when he joined Union forces with his father in 1861. He contracted a disease in 1864 from which he never fully recovered. He died at age 36 and is buried at St. Agnes Cemetery in Menands, New York. Laura LaDuke of Enfield, Connecticut uncovered a tintype with his image and contacted the cemetery's historian Kelly Grimaldi and donated it.
