July 2, 1970

Nineteen grave markers have been cleaned and reset at Springfield Illinois, where 19 prisoners of war were re-interred Saturday after removal from the cemetery at Camp Atterbury. Work began on removal of the bodies on June 22, under the direction of the Mutz funeral home in Edinburg. The remains were placed in new caskets here and then trucked to Springfield for re-burial in ground near the American national Cemetery at Camp Butler.
