Face] A transcript of the Civil War tombstones surrounding the Lilly Post monument: courtesy of an anonymous contributor, October 2012 NB: I have not corrected any inscriptions that appear to be possible errors in spelling, etc. In cases where I have checked the inscriptions, I have made an “[x]”, as below. [x]= an uncommon spelling that I have specifically checked and confirmed that that is what the stone reads; (e.g. Nott Stire, Nichlaus Schafer) name (cross)= cross above name on stone (e.g. Wm. Horton) -some periods/full stops and commas added (between units) -capitalization normalized from All Caps. -State army unit given separate line, on stones, it is on the same line w/ rank, company and regiment -I have left out “Civil War”. (every stone has “Civil War” on it between State Army Unit and years of life, except “Civil” on Stephen Dennis stone in Row 3). -if no birth year or date is on the stone, I have typed it up as “d. YEAR/DATE” (e.g. Wesson Gage… d. 1897) [Inner Row] [Row 1:] [11 gravestones] Joseph W Philo Pvt. Co. K, 50 Regt. NY Vols. Mar 25 1839 Apr 2 1916 William I Horton (cross) Pvt. Co. H Hv.
