George, I got your message and i want to thank you for encouraging me to continue to place a Marker for my GGandfather. It must be at least 2 years since you advised me to place a marker "in Memory Of" THAT DID IT!
The cemetery in Columbus, could not identify the grave and the said no place in the cemetery was available to place a marker. VA will not provide one on a
Unmarked Grave site.
I inquired about a marker in the cemetery where his daughter [My Grandmother] is buried. They required me to purchase a Plot.
I checked with the Oakland Cemetery in Russellville, Arkansas where my parents are buried. My Father Sherrod Thompson is his Grandson.
The Director of the Cemetery was very helpful, and the Sons of Confederate Veterans are going to do a Dedication Ceremony 24 May 2022.
The local Newspaper has written a very nice article, if I could Text Message you i will be able to send Photos. You can Text me at 760-519-0996.
I live in San Marco, California and am unable to attend the Ceremony, however, will send you photos of the Dedication.
