Civil War vet gets gift from great grandson
James Henry Grayham's tombstone is much easier to read than those of his buddies from the Civil War.
Thanks to his great grandson, the Union solider now has a new, 3-foot-tall, granite marker. The Department of Veterans Affairs provides them free to soldiers.
Grimes learned about the monuments after attending a genealogy seminar. He is a Civil War buff and interested in family history, which he researches with the help of his cousins.
