We found this gravestone not included or listed in Catherine Fedorchak's references. It may have fallen face down and could not be read or may have been lost in the heavy vegetation at the time the cemetery was originally read. We found the most successful way of dealing with the heavy brush and vegetation, was to cut everything back to ground level and remove it altogether from the cemetery, thus, exposing all stones. There may have been additional buried markers, which remained undetected and unread.
Grave monument reads, "John Denbow, In Memory of, 1797-1864"

*According to Carl J. Denbow, he is not buried in Ohio. That is only a memorial stone, with a wrong death date. He died in 1862, at a military hospital in Paducah, Ky. He is probably buried in an unmarked grave at the National Cemetery in Cario, Ill. There was one report he is buried in Paducah, but that is less likely."
He was in Co. K 78th OVI.
