The were repaired and rebuilt by the Jonesburg Garden Club using individual contributions in 1955
One of the interred is a fallen Marine, Cpl. Richard Scott Haymes. With family permission the Warren County Marine Corps League named their detachment after him. He was a Warrenton kid, graduated from Warrenton High School, and is also featured in the book Vietnam MEDAVAC" by Walt Wisniewski. He died of wounds received in the care of others.
