The photo above was posted in the Bergen Evening Record Anniversary Edition June 9, 1950
along with the G. A. R. photo showing the Civil War veterans. 
This photo was taken in 1898 at the time of the Spanish American War and
George E. Wells is the person in the middle. 

This is all the information I have on this veteran at the present time.
