There was only a Backus monument found with no names or dates, but there may be smaller markers hidden in the ground with names & dates; it was within a square marked off by a short wall.
A Backus relative sent a copy of the application for headstone or marker for James H. Backus, which cites his burial in Fairview Cemetery in Greenwood, so it can perhaps be assumed he is buried in this plot. The application was for a flat marble marker, which could definitely be hidden in the ground. Further investigation needs to be done.
James H. Backus served in Company A., 489th Engineer Battalion in Engineers Division from New York as a private first class.
