Forest Lawn Memorial Park's Civil War burial plot.

David C. Smith's grave.

Close up of David's tombstone.  The star next to the grave marker has the letters "G.A.R." which stands for "Grand Army of the Republic."  After the war, veterans formed reunion organizations.  The primary and largest Union Army in the eastern theater was the Army of the Potomac.  The soldiers came up with the reunion organization name of "GAR" to represent its stature.

Michael MacDonagh's grave.  His name was misspelled "McDonagh" and caused some delay until the cemetery staff could locate his marker.  They had to reference an old, and somewhat disorganized, card catalog for the information. I'm truly amazed they found the grave stone location information.

Close up of MacDonagh's tombstone. Remarkably, it's well-preserved.  According to the cemetery staff, the tombstone had recently fallen over and they fixed it up all nice.  The plot is now owned by Boy's Town.
