Page 2 of 4 <br /> <br />Further research was compiled on Frank M. Henson and the two others resting beside him. Museum <br />staff reached out to the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cemetery staff as well as the Memorial <br />Products Service program of the Department of Veterans Affairs to identify the next steps. In addition, <br />we reached out to Johnson & Williams Tribute Center. All three decedents had been Civil War Union <br />veterans and were permitted a headstone through the Department of Veterans Affairs in respect of <br />the service given. <br /> <br />As they are eligible to receive a dedicated veteran’s headstone, it will be our best effort to get them a <br />Civil War Union style headstone with recessed-shield design which will represent the proper time <br />period and will represent the three adjacent, which are also veterans and members of the Grand Army <br />of the Republic, a veteran’s organization to which these three decedents also belonged. These would <br />be similar to the following headstones, which are in place for those resting in half of D-148; identified <br />as D-148-01 (Garret C. Verneer), D-148-02 (Robert J. Wilson), and D-148-03 (Dan L. Correll). <br /> <br /> <br />The IOOF Cemetery, Lot 148 in Block D (or D-148): <br /> <br /> <br />Frank M. <br />Henson Frederick A. <br />Stephens James N. <br />Ferguson
