Another Veteran's Grave Marked: William Hamilton

From the Nov. 7, 2017, Hot Springs (Arkansas) Village Voice.

The Texas and Arkansas Societies of the United States Daughters of the War of 1812 marked the grave of William Hamilton at Old Baptist Cemetery in Russellville, Arkansas.

This was the group's second grave marking in one week and they have another marking planned for within three weeks.

Much work has to be done when they mark a grave.  They must prove service, locate the grave, obtain approval, obtain a grave stone if needed as well as planning and coordinating the ceremony.

The U.S. Daughters of the War of 1812 have identified approximately 760 War of 1812 veterans buried in Arkansas and have marked the graves of about 160 of them.  Their goal is to mark all the remaining 600.

Great Job ladies.  --Brock-Perry
