Jo Hinds spoke for over a dozen viewers when she wrote us with this question:
The man in your photograph was a member of the GAR which was founded in 1866, but I noticed on his tombstone that he died in 1860. How can that be? Are you sure the tombstone is for the correct person? Thanks for a great show! Jo Hinds
The tombstone is a rectangular piece with names of many family members that are buried in that plot.
The 1860 date refers to Anna L Stevenson, who died in 1860 and was the first to be interred. In fact, the name John Stevenson and the date '1860' appear on different sides of the same headstone.
John Stevenson, George Geder's great Grandfather, and most of his family are indeed buried there.
Thanks to all for careful attention to the GAR Photograph story.
