Grave Marker Depicting Union Battle Encampment
Isaac S. Buskirk, 14 November 1845-11 July 1864
Mount Gilead Cemetery, Bloomington, Monroe County, Indiana
He was only 18 year old when he died, six months after enlisting with the Union army. This is the most elaborate Civil War headstone I’ve seen so far. Most of them are plain stones with just a simple shield decoration.
