Donated by Sonny and Ruby Roberts Who Put it Here?: Crow Cemetery/Sonny and Ruby Roberts Description of Memorial: Crow Cemetery dates to the 1890s, but it is still active, with over 250 burials. This gray, granite memorial stands just inside the cemetery gate, listing veterans who are buried here, below a Bald Eagle superimposed on an American flag. The majority of those listed served in World War II, with several veterans of World War I. There is at least one Civil War veteran, possibly two from the Korean War, and maybe even one from the Spanish-American War. For some inexplicable reason, some of the names last name first, and others are first name first. The reverse of the memorial is blank.
