My question: I went to Evergreen Cemetery in Brooklyn, NY for the first time to find my grandparents. I have a photo of graves from 1946, it shows a wooden white cross with name : Agnar Johansen and date 1898-1946 above his name appears to be a metal ANCHOR. Now after all this time there is no cross, grave is unmarked. I checked with the office and asked if he could have been a Vet, Navy. The office wasnt to helpful, they said he might have owned a boat LOL........My thoughts are that he might have been in the Navy, maybe WW I . Where I'm going with this is; If he WAS a Vet. would he be intitle to a Headstone ? Also is anyone fimilar with this type of grave marker from that time period???. I would like to get them a head stone but financially its difficult and if hes a Serviceman he should have a marker,, something coming from the VA. Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreicated . Thank you-all. Christine Eastman Teaneck, NJ swede1427@aol.com --part1_7d.5833f4d.266468a5_boundary--
