Can you narrow it down from somewhere? Just curious. Great pic as always.

Andersonville. Should of known.

Beautiful photo. Looking toward the rostrum at Andersonville National Cemetery

Near the center of the photo, we see the stone of John Curry. It raises a question I've wondered about for a long time: Does anyone know when and how the abbreviation "Jno" came into common usage for "John?" It seems very odd to me, as the full name is only one letter longer than the abbreviated version.

I always thought it was for Jonathan.

I always thought it was for Jonathan.

You are very likely correct, and I didn't think of this possibility. Thank you!

And then there is JAS for James (probably a better choice then JAM --------Oooooh, Southern Fig Jam!!)

The blue on all of the headstones really makes the small flags in the distance stand out.
