Description of Memorial:
Small simple marble stone, a stone bench and flag pole erected on an existing concrete pad.
Part of my search for memorial and history in Gallatin County. A couple of blocks away near a huge high school that cannot be used because the building has been condemned, the street makes a circle around a water tower, and a large Civil War memorial. Unique to pull into a small village and find such fine markers to the past.
Wars mentioned (Multi-war only): Not listed
