The sign on the cemetery says G.R. Burkhalter was civil war veteran but that is in error. The G. R. Burkhalter in the cemetery is J. B. Burkhalter's son and J. B. (John Benjamin) Burkhalter is the civil war veteran. His son G.R. (George Ramus) was born in 1879, 14 years after the end of the war. John B. Burkhalter: State of Georgia, 22nd Regiment, Georgia Infantry, In rank: Private, out rank: Corporal.
