Spanish-American War Section
Repairing downed or broken veterans’ stones is a priority for the FOMH. Funds for the restoration of the Spanish American War section were a gift from Sheila and Bryan Bishop in memory of Sheila’s maternal grandfather, Frank George Keller. He and his wife Nellie are buried in the Spanish-American veterans’ plot.
