Soldier’s Tombstones – The following is a list of the tombstones which have been procured from the Government by McPherson Post, No 7 GAR and which remains at the marble works of Sidney Speed, corner of Green & Market streets. The relatives and friends of the deceased soldiers are requested to call and get these stones and set them up at the graves. If they are not taken in a reasonable time they will have to be returned or disposed of as the Government may direct:

Of the above, Josiah Chambers is buried at Ladoga and Francis M. Blue at Linden.
The committee have been to considerable trouble and the Post has expended considerable money in securing and storing the headstones, and it is the least that the relatives can do to take interest enough in the matter to see that the stones are properly set at the graves. If any grave has been supplied and the government stone is not wanted, will some one who knows that fact inform either member of the committee as soon as practicable. Should any one know of the grave of a deceased soldier in the county that is not furnished with a suitable headstone, and will notify either member of the committee at once, a requisition will be made for a stone. Mr. Travis, chairman of the committee is now preparing a list to be sent for March 1, 1891 and it is important that all unmarked graves should be reported at once. The information needed is as follows: The full name of soldier; his company and regiment; where buried; the name of someone who will receive and set up the stone…Samuel L. Ensminger
