Thanks for the information. I merely repeated what was recorded in the
cemetery book. Some of those old stones are difficult to read. That's
why they made chalk. With the war information recorded in the cemetery
book, it's quite possible that he has a military stone, without any dates,
and the dates in the book came from another source. Who knows?

I didn't compile those books. I have found a few errors. Even on my
own family buried there in several of those cemeteries. But they are
still a Godsend when you're 1400 miles away in Texas.
