More about this marker. The Warm Hearted Men at the Westville Railroad Museum "salvaged" these stones - - and gave them a Welcome Home at the Museum.
The care and skills of remodeling the Ol' "Westville Railroad Depot" into an excellent Railroad Museum are also being used in taking care of the War Memorials for all the Loved ones involved. |
