Research Prevails for Margareth Guilroy

See previous post about her original headstone.

The Central Wisconsin Veterans Memorial Cemetery (CWVMC) recently ordered a replacement headstone for “Margaret Gilroy” (1830-1915), because her original headstone had been damaged last winter.

In response to my suggestion (and extensive supporting research), the CWVMC agreed to order a headstone with the corrected spelling of her name:  MARGARETH GUILROY.

There was some question as to whether the National Cemetery Administration would accept the change, because this was a historical headstone, but it appears to have been approved.

I would like to thank Christopher Foster – the recently appointed Cemetery Director – for his collaboration in making this correction.
