Mark, Thanks for posting this. I note that the stone you worked on is slightly different than the Civil War veterans tombstones we have here in California. Has anyone heard about other differences in other states for these types of stones. The majority of our original Civil War stones were first shipped for placement in the early 1890s.

Sue, The stone wasnt a goverment issue. It was purchased by the family. If you see any Indiana CW soldiers out there I would like their info and burial site.
