This is not a common marker, but it is not rare either. Most of
those whose graves it marks were born in the 1860s or 1870s as one would
expect for a child of a Civil War soldier. Many, but not all, include the
Camp 93 designation. I have not yet found reference to that to explain
what it is. If anyone else can find reference to Camp 93 I'll appreciate
hearing about it. All include the eagle at the top, the wreath, and the
two artillery pieces crossing behind it.
Sons of Union Veterans was formed in 1881 as a branch of the GAR to
carry on its activities after it was gone. It is still in existence and
has many chapters. It is open to any male who can prove descent from a
Civil War Soldier on the Union side.
