Ron Marlett's oldest brother Rob developed an interest in researching the roots to the Marlett's family tree. One of the more interesting stories that Rob discovered was of a relative who was captured by Confederate cavalry during the Civil War. Private Joseph Marlett was sent to Andersonville prison where he died from dysentery; a fate shared by thousands of prisoners in Union and Confederate prison camps during the war. In this picture, Rob kneels behind the marker honoring Joseph Marlett at the Andersonville National Park in Georgia.
