<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=4>For Dan, It is likely that the
civil war marker that is on the grave you cite, was actually put there by a
veteran's organization (perhaps the Grand Army of the Republic) and to them, the
information about his military service would be of their paramount importance,,
as they were not concerned about genealogical questing. Bob Casebeer, Talent.

great grandfather's grave back in Iowa. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I checked with the people who have the records of
that cemetery and they said there are only records for about 1/3 of the people
there, then there is a section that was used for generic burials with no
markers and some other things, its just a mess. Americans seem to be good at
messing up records. What gets me is a marker with his civil war year and no
dates of birth or death, I thought that was the most important thing to put on
one.</FONT></DIV>
