My 3x Greats Grandfather and Grandmother are buried in New Union Cemetery, Wingate, Centre County, Pennsylvania. None of the family I have asked know why, but there are 2 grave markers. One that has both their names on it, and one that is damaged but appears to be for him. We know both belong to him because the damaged marker has his Civil War service record on it. Both stones show on Find A Grave. For whatever reason they are not listed as one anomaly. Even though the dates clearly match up. Also interesting is the Find A Grave listing for the damaged stone has a detailed service record for him (Including Mention of Grandmas application for her Widows Pension) . Anyone have any thoughts on why there are two? They also have Jemima listed as Jemma...weirdos.
