Remembering a forgotten Veteran.

This past summer, when working on the restoration of Soloman's Temple Cemetery in Vonore, TN it was discovered that a forgotten veteran of the Civil War was buried there, without a grave marker. A stone was ordered and, at no cost, was installed by White's Marble, a local monument company. The soldier was part of the "Colored Military" who fought for the North. He survived the war and lived to be 90 years old. Let's remember James McGhee this Veterans Day.
