John Benjamin Cardey

John B. Cardey was an interesting character to say the least. His parents were John Cardey Sr. and Nancy Jane Pond. He was born in New York and his father brought him to Wisconsin when he was young. He was drafted into the Civil War and fought for the Union. Here are a few of his photos. John B. Cardey was best friend to Benjamin Kane, my third great grandfather. He married Ben Kane's wife after Ben Kane died. John B. Cardey is also third great grandfather to my wife KinDee. The photo on the upper left is a younger photo of John. The photo on the upper right is a photo of him when he was younger. It was taken at a Civil War Veteran Reunion. Thanks goes to Carl P. Cardey for those pictures. The photo below is of John B. Cardey in his Civil War outfit.
