Confederate Soldier Marker Dedicated
Published Thursday, August 7, 2014
ADVANCE - Jim Jones looked toward the sky Saturday afternoon. His late Uncle Naylor Vogler was on his mind. It was in the early 1950s that "Uncle Nay" had come to Jones, saying they needed to find the grave of his grandfather, Jonathan Lafayette Vogler, a private in the Confederate Army who had died in 1862.
They searched high and low in the area in Forsyth County where Jonathan Lafayette Vogler had lived before he joined the Confederate Army at age 30 on June 11, 1861. They believed he was buried at Bethel United Methodist Church on Burke Mill Road in Forsyth, but church records went down in a fire. There are 363 unmarked graves in that cemetery.
On Saturday, Jones and scores of Vogler relatives and other residents, joined the Sons of Confederate Veterans in placing a marker commemorating his service on the grave of his wife at the Advance United Methodist Church cemetery.
