Great Great Grandfather hanged by rebels 1 August 1864; I last saw his 3 year old baby in 1946

The nearness of the Civil War--Confederates hanged John Rodgers or Rogers in 1864 and the three year old namesake was alive until 1946, when I last saw him.
Captain William Burke and some of his men hanged him from a tree for being a Union sympathizer.
Imagine that--how close to the Civil War.
