  Publisher	Joel Franklin Deboard, Union Army discharge papers, attached to the copy of his 1864 Civil War diary; copies of the diary and the attached discharge were sent to the me by Mildred (DeBoard) Dutton (Canton, Ohio). The discharge document was issued to Joel F. DeBoard in August 1864, upon his discharge in Nachez, Mississippi. The original diary and discharge were left, after the death of Joel's wife Ann, to their son Louis, who passed them down to his daughter, Mildred Dutton. Mildred made copies and sent them to me in the early 1990's; the copies continue in my possession.
