Albert J. Mohn of Butler, Ohio born 23 September 1879
I'm looking for relatives of Albert J. Mohn of Butler, Ohio, born 1879.He was a graduate of Butler High School and Academy in Butler, Ohio.He enlisted as a private in the US Army on 13 July 1898.He served with distinction with the Army's 8th and 3rd cavalry in the Philippine Islands during the Spanish American war and/or the Philippine American war.He was commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant, 4th Cavalry on 2 February, 1901.In late 1904 and early 1905, my g-grandfather Captain John O'Shea, US Army 4th Cavalry was the defense counsel for Albert J. Mohn at his courts martial at Jefferson Barracks Missouri, that ultimately resulted in Albert J. Mohn's dismissal from the army by President Theodore Roosevelt.I have several documents related to the courts martial, including a 10-page personal attestation by Albert J. Mohn on his version of the facts of the case.Doing a google search for "Albert J. Mohn" (including the double quotes) will yield some documents on the man, including this one, which also names my g-grandfather as defense counsel:

Specifically, I'd like to learn more about the cases from Albert J. Mohn's relatives, if any can be found.I have a theory that my John O'Shea and your Albert J. Mohn may have served in combat together in the Philippine Islands, and I'm trying to uncover any additional facts regarding the connections between these two men.
