side by side for eternity
I pass this little military cemetery every day. It dates from the turn of the last century. And like many military cemeteries, although well maintained and treated with honor, these departed souls have no family members to leave flowers.
The oldest grave is that of Army Private George Johnson who died in March of 1904. Johnson was an African-American cavalryman of the 9th US Cavalry--a buffalo soldier. The 9th and 10th Cavs became well known in American history during the westward expansion.
