<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4>Recently my son and I located a Civil War headstone on
private property in Baker Co. for a great grand uncle. It too had no date, just
rank and company. I sent a photo of it to David Samuelson and he located from
NARA (I think) a card showing the same information plus a date. Why it was not
on the stone is a mystery. The govt. supplied CW headstones from about 1864 to
1903 and this one was on the pinkish side. My grandson, who had recently
finished a five year enlistment with the OR Ntl Guard recognized it as a
military headstone as soon as he saw the photo we took. If you have Ancestry you
can see a copy of the card by searching for James FitzJames Cooper (J.F.J.
COOPER on the headstone). His is the last card shown.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
