GIl Sanow Posted November 29, 2012 Share #106 Posted November 29, 2012 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.

jeb137 Posted April 27, 2013 Share #109 Posted April 27, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurt Barickman Posted April 28, 2013 Share #112 Posted April 28, 2013 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. Kurt Barickman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

easterneagle87 Posted February 13, 2023 Share #122 Posted February 13, 2023 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. Better shot of his stone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
