Inscription

We now know that there IS a marker on this grave. Many years ago it was mistakenly transcribed as "G.A. Lembke." However, based on family Bible entries and Civil War Pension documents, as well as perfectly matched dates of birth and death and the corresponding location of death, there was little doubt that this was is indeed the final resting place of Gertrude A. Price Lemons. A special thank you to "DreamLady" for taking the photographs that confirmed Gertrude Lemons' burial location!
