Odds and Ends #1

This post has two functions.

1. Correct the GPS information for the Private James King gravesite. For whatever reason my GPS was off that day by quite a bit. I wanted to insure the accuracy of the GPS coordinates so I am making the change. The GPS reading for the Private King grave is N44.138730, W103.391279.

2. On this date, July 9, in 1882, Daniel Newell married Mary Harlow at the Fort Meade Chapel. Here is a photo of the current chapel on the grounds of Fort Meade. According to sources, the original chapel burned down some time in the 1940's or 50's.
