Remarks: A 1984 survey indicates burial in the Miner plot. At that time, the top portion of the stone was broken. No marker was found in the Miner plot, however, about 15-20 feet to the left of the plot is the bottom half of a stone with the inscription "AE 46 yrs 7 mos & 16 das" which matches the age of our soldier at the time of his death.
