Many of the grave markers for Union veterans in both Batavia cemeteries had settled too deeply into the ground over the years. Others needed some repair, or just a good cleaning. And for some veteran gravesites, there was no marker at all.

Working with the city of Batavia, which owns and maintains the two cemeteries, Reineke and his comrades embarked on an ambitious project to reset the sunken markers and place new stones on the unmarked graves.
