The headstone marker for the grave of Charles G. Minick, the 1812 War veteran who is buried in a private burial plot west of Lincoln, was put in place a week or so ago under the direction of Alvin Lewick Jr. The marker was furnished by the Quartermaster Department of the Army. The marker is alongside the one dedicated some time ago for the Civil War veteran, Joshua Simmons, who is buried in the same private burial plot. The Kansas chapter of the Daughters of the War of 1812 had planned to take part in the placing of the Minnick marker but representatives of the organization were unable to come to Lincoln. However, they have a small marker which they plan to set beside the larger one.
