behind AotW

Pictured are Lieutenant William E Clark and 3 of his 6 Strother brothers-in-law (George, John, and Richard), probably taken shortly after he and at least 2 of them enrolled in Company G of the 7th South Carolina Infantry in April 1861. In September 1862, by then Captain of the Company, Clark was mortally wounded at Sharpsburg. He died in Clarksburg, VA (now WV) on the 22nd.
