The grave of my great great grandfather, Daniel Sanders, Co I, 203 Pennsylvania Infantry. Drafted after Gettysburg at the age of 35, he went to war leaving a wife and four children behind. He was stricken with typhoid fever while in North Carolina and was shipped to a hospital in New York City where he died after Lee's surrender at Appomattox.

 

I finally located his grave in 2002 -- the flag was placed there on Memorial Day, I added the repro cap for effect.

 

Rest in peace, Daniel. You are not forgotten.

My Great Grandfather. Served prior to WW1, 1st California Artillery. My Grandmother gave me a picture of him in uniform on the Mexican Border when I was 13 and that is how my collecting all got started.

In our local cemetery (Newaygo Michigan 49337) is the grave of a civil war vet.

 

The stone says "S.H.HARDEN 6th INDP'T CO OHIO VOL SHARPSHOOTERS"

 

No other information is available. No dates, nothing...

 

The monument stands about 7 1/2 foot tall

 

I know nothing about him but we visit the grave now and then to pay our respects.

We were at this cemetery which is the Fort Ridgely Minnesota State Park near Fairfax MN which was a prominent battle during the Dakota War in 1862 here in MN and when unbeknownst to us he was KIA on the other side of the world. As a result my parents had his body buried here.

The man I knew as my grandfather. Walter E. Phillips, Born in Canada. I have understanding he was wounded twice in WW1. He married my mom’s mom (here they are together) later on in her life. Her father Karl, served in the Swedish Army before immigrated to the US IN THE 20’s or 30’s.  Walt passed when I was in the 4th grade, I was interested in “war” as a kid, but he probably wouldn’t have told me much knowing how young I was. People who knew him, said he wasn’t the same person when he came back. We had the same birthday.
