Yet another cemetery-related story (wonder if the newspapers have been sitting on these, waiting for Halloween): In the Bangor Daily News (Bangor, Maine), Roxanne Moore Saucier has written an article, Mainers bow heads in honor of Revolutionary War soldier, about a group of people paying tribute to a veteran of the American Revolution. Among the group, were descendants of the soldier, as well as members of the Daughters of the American Revolution.
Benjamin Walton would probably be very surprised that anyone cares where he’s buried or what he did while he was alive. But people came to Milo’s Evergreen Cemetery from miles around on Oct. 13 to “mark” the grave of the Revolutionary War veteran.
