Markers were dedicated
for Unknown Civil War Soldiers that are buried
in the Beeler Cemetery on Saturday, October 14, 2006.
It was learned from oral history that has been passed down by word of mouth that those buried there are in fact Civil War Soldiers. In order to honor those who perished in the Civil War and are Unknown, markers were purchased and placed markers in the
Beeler Cemetery. |
