May 1861 saw this high 30-acre bluff overlooking Lafayette quickly become an induction center for enlistees in the Civil War until its end in 1865. Ample water, good drainage, and access to the railroad at its west end served the purpose well, however rough its shelters. Serving regional counties, several Indiana Regiments were organized here including the 10th, 15th ✔, 20th, 40th ✔, 72nd ✔(a part of Wilder's famous "Lightning Brigade") and the 86th ✔, as well as the 10th ✔, 11th ✔, and 16th ✔ Light Artillery Batteries attached to other units.

I also did the 18th Battery Indiana Light Artillery because I needed glasses.

I found the following on another contributor's profile. Sounds right to me.
As for now if you are suggesting edits to a grave because you want the information to look like how you want it to look, I am sorry. I have multiple people saying their way is the best to list a gravesite and they are all different. If the current information is the same as what you are suggesting then it will be declined.
