(note added 01/25/2011 by David Johnson: Caution- this photo no
way matches this description, because it has dates and a different rank
and name. I do not know what has occurred here.)
Knowledge of these 2 graves were brought to Gwen's attention when in
Grundy Co. They are in the middle of a cow pasture
unprotected from the cows. It appears that there may have been other
stones but they are no longer there.
