The Sierra Mountain Cemetery in Truckee hosted a special ceremony yesterday to honor the 22 Civil War veterans buried there. Prior to the ceremony, only 10 of the graves had headstones, but six more have markers now.
The veterans whose markers were dedicated yesterday are Jed Gibbs Booth, Daniel B. Farver, Charles Fox, Fritz Hohn, John C. Lunn and Daniel Thorndyke. They join Thomas Conniff, John Cranmer, Samuel Chambers, Wilson Dixon, John B. Evans, Robert Ferguson, Wilson W. Forrest, Charles Irons, Pierce Laffin and Christian Snyder as having marked graves.
Six other veterans--Waldo Allen, John Flynn, A.J. Graham, Louis McNicger, Charles Titus and George Wallace--currently lack markers.
