Inscription
James Johnson

DEC 18 1926
This is a replacement stone and lists an erroneous date of death.
In 2005 a few local kids were "joy-riding" through the cemetery in a car and missed a turn causing them to crash through three veteran headstones in the G.A.R. (Grand Army of the Republic) Section. They also destroyed some steps next to the stones. The young men where fined and the money was used to repair the steps. The VA replaced the broken stones.
The wrong record was used for James Johnson's date of death. The curator of the cemetery is aware of the error and has requested another replacement. The cemetery records list James' burial date as 7 November 1898.
