At the suggestion of a coworker of mine, I'm going to try to regularly post photographs and histories of the grave stones of common soldiers so that they might be remembered here as the stones themselves fade away. This particular post will not be of the common soldier however.

| Henry Morrow, Commander 24th Michigan Infantry |
In my hometown of Niles, Michigan is buried Henry Morrow. Morrow was commander of the 24th Michigan Infantry, one of the regiments that made up the famous Iron Brigade of the Army of the Potomac. As I got to participate in a grave re-dedication along with the
Sons of Union Veterans and the
1st Michigan Infantry back in 2010 I decided to include Morrow in the list of soldiers we would honor.
