8 Civil War veterans have been identified there with commemorative headstones ordered and in place. They will be honored in the ceremony. In addition a few others Civil War vets are buried there as well. They will also be honored although there are no headstones since these vets are either in an unmarked grave or we have been unable to find any of their living ancestors(to seek permission to order the headstones).
