Many War Veterans Are Buried In The Sidney Cemetery
Following the decoration of each war veteran's grave in the
Sidney cemetery on Memorial Day, when flags are placed at each
grave by members of the American Legion, it is interesting to
note that, in the Sidney cemetery alone, something like 150
veterans of five wars have found their final resting place. Names
of war veterans and the war in which each fought have been
compiled and are on record in the office of the Legion post, and
are as follows.
WAR OF 1812
Isaac Baylor, Hugh Copeland, Jesse Hiatt, Jacob E. Moomaw and the
Rev. Thomas C. Townsend.
THE MEXICAN WAR
George R. Barnard, Corporal Reuben Calvert, Stephen T. Cromwell
