The stones are good-sized marble ones, nicely dressed, and contain the name, the company and regiment of the deceased soldier. Wilde Post, of this city, has taken a very active interest in procuring the name and location of the dead soldiers in the county, and having the proper inscription placed on each stone. Wm. H. Martin, one of the active members of that organization, has given the matter much attention. The stones are ready for delivery, and will be sent to Chester in a short time. The following list will show the reader which graves will be marked, the stars being used to disignate those that have arrived: Chester Rural Cemetery, Government lot- * J. Kramer, Co. D, 72d N. Y.
