Location - Sec. 1, Lot 1171, Grave 2

Note; Check this soldiers military records. With this date of birth he would have enlisted at age 58 - 61 years. As the only evidence listed was the presence of a GAR marker it's possible he was a veteran of either the War of 1812 or more likely the Mexican war. Another possibility is that the marker was moved and he isn't a veteran at all?
