Ladies & Gents-
How many of you have pictures of your Civil War ancestor's civilian headstone with their unit(s) inscribed on them? It seems to have been fairly common and obviously a great source of pride that the boys blue and gray wanted all to know they were with a specific unit after they had passed on.
Here is my ancestor's headstone in Oregon.
Albert Cumpston Company B, 12th Illinois Infantry.
