Note: Buried in Lot SDiv.4-001. His name on the death certificate is clearly James Boggs BAILEY, but on the application for his military headstone it is James Bougs BAILEY (and spelled that way on the stone). His wife's name on the death certificate is difficult to discern due to sloppy penmanship, but appears to be Minerva.
