Special service on Saturday at Hopewell Cemetery. Belated Veterans Day ceremony honors Civil War soldiers By P.BARR,Daily Journal Staff Writer, Published Nov. 10, 2010. Civil War soldiers will have a second Veterans Day Saturday when the local Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War camp conducts a special ceremony where at least 51 of those soldiers now lie. The Belated Veterans Day ceremony begins at 11 a.m. in Hopewell Cemetery in Washington County and is open to the public. Hopewell Ceremony is near the old St. Louis-Iron Mountain Railroad, which was the furthest southern railroad in Missouri, said Chris Warren, Second Lt. and Camp Commander of the General James R. McCormick Camp 215, the Park Hills Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War camp. There are 51 Union soldiers buried there that we know of. They are from New Jersey, Minnesota, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, New York, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Canada, United States Colored Troops, as well as Missouri. So far, no one has identified any Confederate soldiers in the cemetery. The Sons of Union Veterans and its auxiliary, the Louisa Volker Auxiliary 215, will dress in period clothing or Civil War uniforms. The auxiliary is named after the first woman military telegrapher in the Civil War, who was stationed at Mineral Point. Other plans for the ceremony are still being finalized. Tentative plans include a color guard, musket volley, TAPS and flags at each Civil War veterans graves. The names of the Civil War veterans in the cemetery will be read, and Warren is hoping to have a special addition to honor the veterans. This is a unique ceremony, Warren said. Most Veterans Day celebrations focus on more modern wars, and often forget our nation's greatest conflict: The Civil War. One veteran believed to be buried in the Hopewell Cemetery is Frank Bone, a Washington County native who enlisted in the Civil War Aug. 5, 1862, at the age of 20. Bone was a private in Company C, 31st Missouri Infantry Regiment. According to author Gary Scheel, who wrote a book about the 31st Missouri Infantry, at the time of his enlistment Bone was 5 feet 7 inches tall with gray eyes, light hair and light complexion. He listed his occupation as miner. Bones regiment began with 878 men when they left for Chickasaw Bayou, Mississippi. There, they fought their first of 29 battles and skirmishes on Dec. 29, 1862, at Chickasaw Bayou, about eight miles northwest of Vicksburg. Their last battle before the war ended was in Bentonville, N.C. By the time Bone was discharged on June 13, 1865, there were only 170 other surviving members of the regiment, Scheel said. To get to the cemetery take Missouri 8 to Route U south to County Road 506. Turn left, then take the first right onto Elliott Road 507. The cemetery is on the right.
I just posted a very interesting article on the St. Francois County MoGenWeb about Mrs. Cora (Kinzer) Hunt. I hope those of you who are researching the Hunt line will see this article. What I found very interesting is that at the time the article was published (1964), she was probably one of the last surviving witnesses to hanging of Charles Hardin which took place in 1880 and was St. Francois County's only legal hanging. http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mostfran/biographies/cora_hunt.htm
Ms. Wafford, Hopefully by the time you read this e-mail you will have received the e-mail that I sent you off-line about what I was doing today regarding your family research on Henry Nash / Marsh. I did not want to go on-line with the information because in my opinion involved research and sharing of said information between individuals should not be posted on a public web site. I will leave it at that for now. I hope to be of some assistance to you in your research. Euel B. L. p.s.

I will gladly take all of the help that I can get. First, not to confuse you, my Family line has used the surnames of NASH - MASH - and MARSH. I was raised a NASH, and through my research have found that the family surname was changed from MASH to NASH in the late 1860s. I am also finding that the surname was MARSH and the "R" was dropped in the late 1700s. I have found family members still to date using all three surnames. As you know I cannot find him in the 1860 Census Records. I do know that he married a second wife, Margaret Jane "Aunt Peggy" Moses. I do not have a marriage date for them, and do not know if they married in Tennessee or Missouri. They do have a daughter, Rebecca Anne, who was born December 25, 1854, in Monroe County, Tennessee. Margaret had been married previously as well, to a man by the name of McCRAVY. She had a son Joseph, and then the daughter Rebecca (who we know has used both the MARSH / MASH / NASH and the McCRAVY surnames). Son Joseph is buried in Adams Cemetery under the name of Joseph McCravy. He was called Deaf and Dumb Joe, in Bonne Terre, as he was Deaf and could not talk. I hope and pray that I have not thoroughly confused you. This is a very loving Family of mine, but had been a very hard family to trace. I have my family traced back to late 1635, when they came over from England and landed in Hingham Bay, Plymouth County, MA. I do have 4 DNA Testings proving that these are one and the same family line. These were all done through Family Tree DNA and are listed under the NASH Family Project. We are curently ordering the 5th Test that we should have results back on around Christmas, which will pull the 5th NASH Family Line into this one, and will finally prove the MARSH / NASH Connection in blood. Your help is Greatly Appreciated with this. Thank you. And in return, if I can ever help you in the California area with anything, just ask. God Bless, Joyce Nash-Wafford ograndma1@sbcglobal.net
