Cloud" tombstone that we found in Melrose Township, Illinois. This tombstone sits on the top of a hill with tombstones from the "Gard" family. It reads: "GW Cloud Co F 79th Ill Inf" The Gard family tombstones are for Rebecca A. Gregory wife of T.M. Gard died Jan 9, 1892 Aged 54 y 2 m 8 days and George T. son of T.M. and R.A. Gard died Oct 22, 1877 12y 6m 10 days. Rebecca A. Gregory was married to Thomas M. Gard, son of William N. Gard, son of Ephriam Gard, son of John Gard, son of Jeremiah Gard. We do not know the connection of GW Cloud or why his tombstone is there with "Gards". This is a very old cemetary in disrepair and the GW Cloud headstone is propped against a tree. If you know anything about this particular Cloud, please let me know! Thanks, Cindy (Gard) Hammond cyndil62@yahoo.com Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
