Br. Phurriott found the resting place of Julian M. Ransier and his wife Cora. Julian is said to be the Last Union Veteran 'Buried' in Onondaga County. According to the cemetery record, Julian and Cora's ashes were "placed here." According to The Post-Standard, “…their bodies were cremated in Memphis, Tenn., and were interred privately by Elmer Mills of the Manlius cemetery, in the shadow of the great block of stone.”
🇺🇸📯🇺🇸📯🇺🇸

Julian M. Ransier served as a Private in Co. F, 2nd New York Cavalry during the Civil War. He enlisted at age 18 and was part of George Custer's Cavalry Brigade in the Civil War. He was a member of Post 69 Grand Army of the Republic (G.A.R) in the Department of Iowa.

In the picture is a 600-pound limestone wash basin that was carved by Julian's father to replace one constantly misplaced by workers on their farm. Julian later had the wash basin removed from the Eagle Village farm of his parents, James M. and Mary C., and had it installed over their graves.

With the approval of the Town of Schroeppel's Cemetery Association, Br. Phurriott returned to the Sandridge Cemetery in Pennellville, New York this morning to investigate the 'top of a headstone' he observed a few weeks ago that read “Union Forever,” but did not match any Find A Grave Memorial in that cemetery. With a little gentle excavation, Br. Phurriott discovered the veteran grave of John M. Greenleaf. At the age of 33, John, enlisted on August 29, 1864 at Hastings to serve one year in Co. H, 184th New York Infantry. John mustered on September 10, 1864 and he was appointed a musician (a drummer according to his headstone). John mustered out with his company on June 29, 1865, at City Point, VA (New York Report of the Adjutant-General 1893-1906). John appears to have never married or sired children. A Find A Grave Memorial was created for him and it is now connected to his father, Luke, and his mother, Susan.

His headstone is now on the list to repair or replace.

John's grave was also added to the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War (SUVCW) Graves Registration Database (DB).
🇺🇸📯🇺🇸📯🇺🇸

One of the major goals of the SUVCW is to locate the final resting place of every Union Veteran of the American Civil War and record it in the SUVCW Graves Registration DB. As of 2022, almost 800,000 of the more than 2 million Union soldiers who served are in the DB. Outside individuals and organizations are encouraged to assist as well, at https://www.suvcwdb.org.
