The Maine Adjutant General's report of 1864, p. 717, states that Alpheus Grover was enlisted as a private into Company F of the 30th Maine Infantry on January 6, 1864, and that he died as a prisoner of war on June 18 of that year. The pension claim submitted by his widow, Julia M. (Morgan) Grover, provides evidence that the couple was married in Naples, Maine, on June 23, 1860, and that the soldier died in the Confederate prisoner of war camp near Tyler, Texas, on June 18, 1864.
Information in the National Archives file of "Headstones Provided for Deceased Union Civil War Veterans" (Publication M1845) establishes that an unnamed party about 1880 requested the production of a headstone for the the soldier to be delivered to Portland's Evergreen Cemetery, but the photo shown here is not that memorial.
Additional information about Alpheus Grover, Julia M. (Morgan) Grover, and her second husband, Albert W. Fickett, may be found in Julia's pension claim file, which is available online (for a fee) at Fold3.com.

Since the remains of deceased enlisted men--especially those who perished as prisoners of war--were almost never returned to their homes, this memorial is undoubtedly a cenotaph.
