Then, when I was there around Memorial Day, I spied a small, white headstone with a Civil War veteran sign in the ground near it. I took a closer look at the old, worn headstone and noticed it said what looked like &#8220;Co. K&#8221; on it. I brushed it off and looked closer and saw that it read, &#8220;JHO. LAST &#8211; CO.

She died in 1900.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is another item I spent a long time trying to track down.
