Harlan Ogle of Monticello, Wayne Co, Kentucky serves as the Director/Curator of the Wayne County Museum and in the process of an ordinary day receives many calls from people who want to talk about Wayne County history. Harlan Ogle’s websites are: http://mykentuckyworld.com and http://waynecountykymuseum.com. On 24 Oct 2004 he wrote:
"This morning I talked to a gentleman who grew up in Monticello and said he remembered a
cemetery on his parent’s farm with just one marker with an inscription. He said there were other graves marked with field stones. There has been much building in the area where the cemetery was and the cemetery is no longer in existence as a cemetery. But, he remembered this one stone and wondered what had happened to it. He had heard stories that the stones were removed and stacked in another part of the field. That led him to go back and see if he could find the stone. He did! (At least a part of it.) It is the stone of Anthony Washam with his name and the group he was with in the Union Army. We are very much desirous to treat that stone with the utmost respect and dignity and would love to know more about Anthony Washam... The sad story is that a gentleman brought the stone in for me to see this morning and he only has about 25% of the stone. He is meeting with the JROTC cadets this week in an attempt to find the remainder of the stone."
This picture of Anthony’s stone, courtesy of Harlan Ogle, 2004, was taken several years ago when it was still in one piece.
