Are you sure they are Civil War vets and not Spanish American War vets? Is Sioux Falls the name of the veterans camp as opposed to the name of a boat?Jeff @bowlerman
Hoping this pic might have gotten some local coverage & the mystery of the date might be solved by now. This group pic of local naval veterans recently surfaced & appears to be multigenerational. Some of the older men are wearing GAR reunion ribbons & metals. A lot of the men have Sioux Falls officers hats. Taken in front of the courthouse perhaps?
None of the Union Ironclad gunboats were named the Sioux Falls. A search to determine how many naval ships have been named the Sioux Falls lead to this 2019 article. Unfortunately it only confuses the issue more.
