From the estate of Samuel Harner who died in 2001; he was a lifelong farmer and a resident of Taneytown, MD. He lived on the family farm all of his life, on Diehl Road east of Taneytown. The family story is that Sam’s father, Wade, who lived from 1883-1970, told the story that his father Mathew Harner (1841-1900) traveled on the Taneytown Road after the Battle of Gettysburg in 1863 and found these souvenirs. They were kept in the family until The Horse Soldier purchased them in December 2015.
