I found a Colony Cemetery, Washington Twp, Knox Co., Mo., and it was most interesting.

As Dr. Russell reported in this thread, CSA Brig. Gen. Martin Edwin Green's wife is listed as buried there in Colony Cemetery. Also, their daughter is there -- Miranda Elizabeth (Green) McMurry (1839-1910). The symbol on her marker caught my eye, and I am curious about it.

Miranda's husband, W. Fletcher McMurry (1834-1893), is also buried there, and he has the same symbol/design on his marker. To me, the design appears to be the Union shield.

Is this so?

So far, I have not located a compiled service for a W. Fletcher McMurry in fold3 under McMurry or variations. Still looking.

Here are the pictures. Sorry for all the cut and paste. (If you choose, once you get to the wife, you can use the family links provided.)

Did Brig. Gen. Green have a Union son-in-law?
