From the Naval Historical Center:

Jonas Howard Ingram, born in Jeffersonville, Ind., 15 October 1886, graduated from the Naval Academy in 1907. Before World War I he served in several cruisers, destroyers, and battleships. As turret officer of Arkansas (BB-33), he established a world's record for firing 12-inch guns. On 22 April 1914 he landed at Vera Cruz, Mexico with the Arkansas battalion and was awarded the Medal of Honor for "skillful and efficient handling of the artillery and machine guns and for distinguished conduct in battle."

Charles Ingram & Dixie Ingram


This is from Stone Mountain several years ago. Charles Ingram from Birmingham, AL is on the left and Dixie Ingram of the Scottish Power Pipe Band in on the right.

I've lost track of Charles. His mailing address and e mail address do not work anymore. If anyone knows him or what's become of hm please contact me.

Dixie told us he was named for a "music hall" performer. The name of the pipe band he was with literally means the electric company in Scotland.
