Adjacent to the stone is a bronze flag plaque and flag with inscription of USS and a shield that would incate a federal marker of some sort. Does anyone have any information about what the shield stands for. The person died in 1858. I have no information on this shield and a search of various WEB sites to establish the marker has turned up negative. Does anyone have any information regaarding the background of this marker. Thank you. LTW

I think this marker is the old time marker for the Civil War Veterans. myrt ----- Original Message ----- From: <ltwcharlie@mindspring.com> To: <PAPERRY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, July 23, 2004 10:11 AM Subject: [PA-Perry] Gravemarker in Eschol, Perry County > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Surnames: Waggoner > Classification: Query > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/odB.2ACI/820 > > Message Board Post: > > I recently have received a picture of a relative's grave stone in Eschol, Perry,PA. .
