                                                  Cemetery Marker of Charles Wesley Preas(t) and his wife Reuhama - 

                                    ****NOTICE the different spelling of the name "Preast" for Charles and "Preas" for his wife Reuhama. 

                               Charles has a Confederate Veterans marker.  A story goes something like this,  "The Veterans of the Confederacy 

                               were given several choices of Grave markers to choose from, designed specifically for those who were veterans of the 

                              Confederacy during the Civil War.  The Confederate Veterans chose the one with the "Point" on top - "to keep the 

                               damned Yankees from settin' on 'em!".               Photo donated by Joseph and Betty Hahn.
