War of 1812 Grave Marked in Arkansas
From the September 26, 2017, Hot Springs (Ark.) Village Voice "Veteran of the War of 1812 grave marked."
The Baseline-Meridian Chapter United States Daughters of 1812 (USD1812) marked and dedicated another War of 1812 veteran's grave in Arkansas. He was Jesse McClain and his grave is in Norris Cemetery in Yocana, Polk County.
The USD1812 was assisted by the DeSoto Trace, Sons of the American Revolution.
The USD1812 has identified approximately 750 War of 1812 veterans buried in Arkansas so far and less than 200 have been marked as veterans of the War of 1812.
More grave markings are planned for the remainder of this year.
