Findagrave volunteer Connie D. took several pictures of the National Cemetery and marker, and Wm. N. Bumgardner's stone. Connie says William is buried in a beautiful spot. Very nearby is the most beautiful Magnolia tree, it's about the biggest she's ever seen. The cemetery is finely manicured and extremely well cared for.
