Information on the cairn is non-existant and information of the people is very samll.
Robwert F. Laughlin was a Civil War soldier, although I do not fully understand the text on his military tombston. It reads: 30.7. &emsp 78 ILL. INF.
The 78th Illinois Infantry is easy...the 30.7. it has no meaning to me.

His wife, who he married in 1866, was Mary Maude Smith Laughlin has very little to add.
