George W. Harlow's Tombstone

Full Civil War History follows: George left his family, had memory problems. He forgot he was a Civil War Vet, stopped cashing his pension checks. Took me 17 years to find him, he died in Vernon County Missouri State Hosp #3. He only gave one piece of correct information. However, that was enough for me. He did remember his father's name. I had the VA make him a new monument, & sent to his grandaughter. She set it last year in the Hosp #3 cem in Mo. His monument was set where it belonged.
