Interesting Headstones in Oak Grove Cemetery

When our casualties arrived from WWI, Nacogdoches wanted to honor them with a separate plot in Oak Grove Cemetery. There are seven headstones in this section which are separated from the Old Catholic section by a hedge.

The first four names are on the back row closest to the American Flag while the last three are closest to the dirt road that runs in front of the headstones.
