Union Bethel Civil War Veterans Cemetery Transcription

This transcription was done on May 23, 2004. The cemetery is not well cared for. Grass was about 2 feet tall. It sits between a small new housing project and a fairly busy road. The cemetery itself is in a small wood and is quite a nice place. Quiet and pretty. A few stones were broken or so weathered as to be illegible.
