Comments
Not on the Westwood printout (no map for Lot 1); memorial only? Check the original burial register or search for dates in a military roster. "Reuben Turner" is listed on the Westwood map and printout as having been buried on September 4, 1865, in U-114-01;
Biographical Information
Reuben Turner is listed on Oberlin's Soldiers' Monoment as having served in the "3rd USCA" and as having "died in the service of our country"; are Ruben and Reuben the same man? Also, the company letter and regiment number on this marker are virtually illegible.
