For all you Or-Rooters who helped me while I was researching this man, I  
want you to 
know that the Junction City Historical Society and the Sons of Union  
Veterans of the
Civil War, Col. Edward D. Baker Camp #6 will have a dedication ceremony on  
Saturday,
August 19th at 10:30 a.m. at the Milliorn Cemetery at the west edge of  
Junction City.
(If anyone would like to be there, email me for more details and  directions.)
 
With the help of many, many friends, I was able to prove his service, his  
residency in Lane County and Marion County and, "beyond a reasonable doubt" that 
 he was not buried
somewhere else. So the Veterans Administration sent a proper headstone  which 
was 
set in May and the dedication has been scheduled.  Whew! what a  ride!
 
This has been one of the most rewarding research projects I've done since I  
first started
my own family research 30 years ago.
 
Now, there is supposed to be a third Civil War Veteran buried in our tiny  
cemetery. All
we know is that he is listed on about three different G.A.R. and cemetery  
lists only as
GURLEY.  I'm supposing that is a surname. Without a given name, or a  state, 
or 
any dates, this might be impossible. But, if we have a long wet winter, I  
just might try.
 
Thank you to all who helped me with Hamilton and -- anyone want to take a  
stab
at GURLEY?
