Left to right: Joe Karr, who drove the veterans to Montezuma; Hiram Frease, standing and holding the flag; Frank Dayton and Capt. George Phillips, both seated. Joe Karr was a dry goods merchant in Brooklyn, Iowa. The benches in front of the Karr store were favored places for Civil War veterans to sit and talk.
