The man on the right is the Rev. John Riddle Warner. He was the grandfather of the poet Marianne Moore and during the Civil War, he lived in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. The man at the left is probably his brother, Henry Warner. The photograph is undated, but the ages of the sitters suggest late 1850s or early 1860s.  Warner family letters will feature later on in Today in the Civil War.
