    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/QS.2ADE/439.1.1.1 Message Board Post: As a historical researcher in Bartow and Polk County, Fla., I became interested in identification of all veterans of the civil war buried in our Oak Hill cemetery. We have fifty five Confederate and four Union veterans buried in this cemetery of less than five hundred marked burials. Although Andrew Benjamin Brookins is not buried there, he was identified by the WPA Graves Registration project of 1940-41 as having been buried there. I finally located him in the Wildwood cemetery nearby with wife, daughters and relatives. He does not have a Confederate marker at this time. Will be working on that. Hopefully, if all goes well, will be publishing an article about him and his family in the Polk County Historical Quartely in the future. your Alabama research will be invaluable to this project. You may contact me at my E mail address. crackertracker@ij.net Thanks.
