Emeline - Inman Cemetery, 62-1 Summary Report, page 37

---

This tombstone is on the east side of the cemetery. It is typical of those provided by the Veteran's Administration for military graves when requested by the family. This one gave rise to research into the military listings of black soldiers of the Civil War, since that was when the designation “U. S. C. I.” was used to denote “United States Colored Infantry”. Given that it was a marker for Civil War service, the census records of Madison County were checked for 1870 and 1880. There was an apparent match found in the 1880 census as shown below. 37 - (2245)
