The military stone placed by the American Legion is not correct. Another John Berkheiser buried in Weasaw Baptist Cemetery, Miami County, Indiana is the one who served in this particular unit. I have all of the Berkheiser pension files I could locate and this Jonathan Berkheiser did not serve in the Civil War as far as I know at this writing.
