Russell Sept. 2001. NOTE: I want to explain how we obtained the information. We listed all of the names on a board in the middle of the cemetery showing their locations. Some were in pencil and unable to read. we then walked the cemetery taking the information from the headstones, markers, etc- The cemetery is located south of Murray on a hill. Avery peaceful resting place. This is the 4th year that we have been there and each time we go there seems to be fewer headstones. Last year we spent a day resetting, cleaning, etc. the stones that belong to our family. Someone has placed wooden signs showing the locations of some of the people who had historical significance where there are no headstones G.A.R.
