Nancy, Who are the parents of Richard Rowland Kirkland. What are his birth and death dates? Thank you. Jennie >Afternoon, > I failed to mention last night that we also visited Quaker Cemetery >whilein Camden yesterday. This is the place Richard Rowland Kirkland is >buried. Its a very pretty, well kept cemetery. When we first drove in, we >noticed that the 'streets' are named....and there were brochures for the >cemetery :-) I was surprised to see the brochures but found it to be very >helpful as it listed some of the more prominent grave sites. There is a >brief 'history' of the cemetery on the back sheet. This cemetery was >founded in 1759; began as 4 acres and now has approximately 50 acres. > The monument at Richard Rowland Kirkland's grave is very large (wide >and tall). It briefly tells of his heroism at Fredericksburg and his death >in the battle of Chickamauga. His monument is located in an area called >"Little Arlington" and has a US flag and Confederate flag flying in the >plot. There are several other graves in this "Little Arlington" including >two men who received the Congressional Medal of Honor for their service >during WW1. > Wouldn't it be wonderful if all cemeteries could have brochures >telling of their history and even including listings of those buried there? >At first I thought it rather odd to have these brochures but then realized >just what a find it truly was :-) >Regards, >Nancy E Parr > > >==== GACOFFEE Mailing List ==== >Please visit the Atkinson County GaGenWeb site at >http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Lane/3390 > >============================== >Visit Ancestry.com for a FREE 14-Day Trial and enjoy access to the #1 >Source for Family History Online.
