Special Thank you to Mr. Eric Zizelmann
For making a special trip out to the cemetery
in order to get this picture for me.
Also, from Mr Zizelmann:
Daniel and his wife Mary are both buried on the lot (Section 3, Lot #188), and the grave was also demarkated by a GAR veteran marker. Daniel didn't come to the United States until about 1867 which was after the Civil War. This marker is an error.
