$200 is the new engraving cost from Palmer Brothers of Broken Bow. The price was effective January 1, 2025. They have provided all the engraving since 2001. The wall has around 150 bricks remaining open, but the cost is more. 15 spaces on two lines per brick. Note: Spaces not letters.

Franklin County has 5 Confederate Veterans of the Civil War buried 4 in Greenwood and one in Maple Grove cemeteries. I was pleased to offer a correction, Genealogy Trails History Group-Nebraska Confederate Veteran Graves now has James Lewis Reynolds honored though his service record is not posted. James had been shown as Samuel J. Reynolds. No grave is found! But, James Lewis Reynolds was a Confederate, died in Franklin County, NE. Was from Siinking Creek, VA.
