Mr. Cook,

attached find copy of 2 photos showing acceptance of Mr. Dosher's Medal of Honor by his Grand Daughter , Velma B. Reed in a ceremony at Denton, Tx.

The medals were denied by the Dept of the Army in 1916, and in June 1989 they were re-instated and presented to the living heirs, At this time Mr. Dosher only had 2 living Granddaughters left.

This medal is placed in the Fort Richardson museum at Jacksboro Tx, where he did most of his scouting.
