I like to look for Union veterans up here in Minnesota (won't find too many Rebs!) I found a couple of Sherman's boys who wanted to make sure that when someone passed by their grave, the visitor would know that he soldier buried there was with Sherman!
The above marker was in Owatonna, MN, about 60 miles south of the Twin Cities. It is to the prominent Latsch family.
The son (above) was fairly prominent in the area, but the father, below , was the one I was interesetd in.
The marker above tells that John Latsch was born in Switzerland. But, Swiss or not, by George he marched with Sherman.
The veteran below was born in Denmark . This was from the Mazeppa cemetery, above 45 SE of the Twin Cities. You can see his unit designation at the bottom of the marker, and beneath that the inscription, "Marched with Sherman to the Sea"
