Thursday, May 9, 1895, page 1, col. 4.
Drippings from Bronson's Thinktank.
W. H. Crowe has this week received from the War department at Washington a soldier's head stone for the grave of Joseph Milliron, buried in Rinehart cemetery. Jos. Milliron is the father of Wm. Milliron, of the town of Leslie.
(The military stone is still there, but almost illegible. You can make out "Jos." for the first name, and parts of the last name.
You can read, 8th infantry, co. B, Minn.)
There seems to be a big gap between the death in 1882, and the delivery of the stone in 1895 according to the newspaper article of the time, but the other information matches up.
