"Many War Veterans
Are Buried In The Sidney Cemetery
Following the
decoration of each war veteran's grave in the Sidney cemetery on
Memorial Day, when flags are placed at each grave by members of
the American Legion, it is interesting to note that, in the
Sidney cemetery alone, something like 150 veterans of five wars
have found their final resting place.
Names of war veterans and
the war in which each fought have been compiled and are on record
in the office of the Legion post, and are as follows.
