I would try to tell ya about Mr. Quantrill, but google him when you have time. He had an interesting life of 27 years. His life ended in 1865 in Louisville. The last few years of his life were devoted to the Confederacy. He rubbed elbows with the James Bothers, Cole Younger, and Bloody Bill Anderson.
He has a nice, small stone in the very northern town of Dover Ohio. The day we were there, there was an attractive iron CSA monument here, along with an American and a Confederate flag.This is a very attractive cemetery, in a town that I personally love a lot. Check out the great Jesus monument nearby! There are some other interesting monuments in other cemeteries that I will mention soon!
Jim, I enjoyed reading your visit to Dover, Ohio and visiting Colonel W.C. Quantrill's grave at the 4th Street Cemetery. Several of William's family, including his parents Henry and Caroline, are buried there by him. William was buried in Dover in 1982 by the Sons of Confederate Veterans. I am the camp commander of Quantrill's Raiders, Camp 2087, Sons of Confederate Veterans. I have been to the other two graves containing the remains of Quantrill; in Missouri and Kentucky.
