Soldier's Graves

North Vernon Plain Dealer - December 3, 1884

    The grave of no soldier should remain unmarked. The Government recognizes that they all earned during the hours of our Nation's danger the right to have marked the place of their final rest, and on application will furnish appropriate tombstones without charge. All persons who know of the grave of any soldier in the late war without a stone, will please forward to me his name, regiment, company, State and rank, date of death, name of cemetery and nearest railroad station, when I will see that during the next year an appropriate stone is erected.
J. C. Cope,    North Vernon, Nov. 25th
