This one is in the Fultonville Cemetery and appears to be part os the vandalism that has occurred here in the past. It's merely tipped up and faired much better then the Starin Mausoleum and the people that were at rest here.
This G.A.R. gun is part of a simple, military memorial to the fallen soldiers that are buried here. Soldiers of the Revolutionary, War of 1812, and the Civil War are buried here. I can't tell you much about the gun other then it has a rifled barrel and I'm guessing at the manufacturer. Happy Waymarking, Swizzle & Family
