CALLAWAY, Neb. (AP) — The grave of a Civil War soldier has a new headstone thanks to the efforts of a local organization in central Nebraska.

Before the headstone was put in place, the only memorial at Henry Barnacassel’s grave was an old silver marker with slide-in letters falling off and an incorrect emblem of his service.

Vice commander Tim Hiatt of the Sons of the American Legion in Callaway says the group simply set out to do the right thing by getting a headstone for Barnacassel.

The project led the organization on an unexpected journey, bringing members and Barnacassel’s family together to honor the soldier more than 90 years after he died.
