Soldier buried near brothers gets headstone

A Civil War soldier nearly lost to time is no longer forgotten. Cpl. Milton Airey, 43rd US Colored Infantry, was 27 when he died on Oct. 17, 1867. According to his obituary, he was buried in his uniform, but his grave remained unmarked. That is, until Saturday when a Pennsylvania cemetery's president and a group of nearly 30 people dedicated a new marble headstone in Airey's honor between the markers of his brothers. • Article
