These stones are at the freight depot of the Big 4 Railroad, and the relatives and friends of the deceased are requested to take them and set them up at the graves as soon as possible. It will be necessary to call on Chas. M. Travis, chairman of the committee, and get an order for the stones before going to the railroad agent. The following headstones were received several years ago and are still on hand: Calloway Nosler, Hiram M. Murray, James H. Vanarsdall, J. M. Barcus, William Elliott, William C. Endicott, J. C. Munford, Augustus E. Newell, James Shevelin, A. T. Blair, George Galloway.
If these stones are not taken and set at the graves soon, they will be returned to the Government. If they are not wanted for any reason, the person knowing that fact should advise Mr. Travis at once.
