Description of Memorial: Black marble stone on the proper north corner of a large brick pad, which hold a Civil War era cannon pointing point-blank range at the memorial stone. There are no inscriptions on the bricks. (Maybe to come later?) To the left of the cannon is a white marble memorial stone that is mysteriously blank. The ground is broken, and all grass is scrapped off all around this site, and gives the impression of more to come.
