<DIV>For all you Or-Rooters who helped me while I was researching this man, I
want you to </DIV>
<DIV>know that the Junction City Historical Society and the Sons of Union
Veterans of the</DIV>
<DIV>Civil War, Col. Edward D. Baker Camp #6 will have a dedication ceremony on
Saturday,</DIV>
<DIV>August 19th at 10:30 a.m. at the Milliorn Cemetery at the west edge of
Junction City.</DIV>
<DIV>(If anyone would like to be there, email me for more details and
directions.)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>With the help of many, many friends, I was able to prove his service, his
residency in Lane County and Marion County and, "beyond a reasonable doubt" that
he was not buried</DIV>
<DIV>somewhere else. So the Veterans Administration sent a proper headstone
which was </DIV>
<DIV>set in May and the dedication has been scheduled. Whew! what a
ride!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This has been one of the most rewarding research projects I've done since I
first started</DIV>
<DIV>my own family research 30 years ago.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Now, there is supposed to be a third Civil War Veteran buried in our tiny
cemetery. All</DIV>
<DIV>we know is that he is listed on about three different G.A.R. and cemetery
lists only as</DIV>
<DIV>GURLEY. I'm supposing that is a surname. Without a given name, or a
state, or </DIV>
<DIV>any dates, this might be impossible. But, if we have a long wet winter, I
just might try.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thank you to all who helped me with Hamilton and -- anyone want to take a
stab</DIV>
<DIV>at GURLEY?</DIV>
