At The Memorial Day services on Tuesday, Prof. J. S. Carson of Wichita delivered a fine Memorial address. After the services the assembled citizens formed a line of march to the cemetery. The first vehicles had nearly reached the cemetery when the last ones were leaving the Presbyterian church. Following is a list of the old soldiers who are buried in the Coldwater cemetery: J. E. Stuckey, B. M. Veatch, John Ray, G. W. Maynard, Charles Bickford (first soldier buried in the county), Henry Fritz, David Cole, Eli Crites and W. H. McLaughlin.
Note: the above list is incomplete. For a more complete list, see: Civil War Veterans of Comanche County, Kansas.Thanks to Roberta (Bliss) Malone contributing this article to this web site, to Patricia Snyder for typing the text, and to Bobbi (Hackney) Huck for her help in arranging the contribution!
