DEDICATION AT JEFFERSON CEMETERY
Mark Nye, a member of the Jackson County Genealogical Society, spent countless hours researching the genealogical information of these eight Civil War Veterans.
"Since 1994 Austin Blair Camp No. 7 has had an aggressive graves registration program conducted by Past Camp Commander, Bill Lowe, and has amassed a data base of over 3000 Civil War veterans. His research indicates these veterans lived in Jackson County before, during or after the war, however, a few may have resided in adjoining counties but belonged to a G. A. R. Post within Jackson County. With the collected information on file at this time, the project is able to confirm the grave sites of over 1000 of these veterans."
