Susan Victoria Dickerson (1859 - 1861) - Find A Grave Memorial

Thanking "Find A Grave" member Mr. Bob Younger  who so kindly contacted me with a correction and also provided a wealth of additional information about the family of Susan Victoria Dickerson whose lifespan was only a short two years. She lived and died over 150 years ago.  

Susan was the only one in her family buried at the Friends (Quaker) Cemetery in North Lewisburg, Champaign County, Ohio because the rest of her family moved farther west and lived out their lives in other states.  Please see her "Find A Grave" Memorial and read more information about her parents and siblings.

Controversy about Selling Civil War Cannons at Sugar Grove Cemetery in Wilmington, Clinton County, Ohio

Click on title to read the story published December 17, 2012 in the "Coshocton Tribune" online paper from the Associated Press about the controversy surrounding a proposed sale of two Civil War cannons at the Sugar Grove Cemetery which is in Wilmington, Clinton County, Ohio.  Apparently, the high insurance costs for these original canons are a factor in this decision.  

It will be interesting to see what the outcome will be with this proposal and if it will come to pass. 

Currently, on "Find A Grave" for Sugar Grove Cemetery in Wilmington there are are 2,567 memorials posted.
