THE NEW YORK MEMORIAL
IN NATIONAL CEMETERY, GETTYSBURG, PA.
The known dead in the National Cemetery are buried in eighteen different groups, each state having its own individual section. New York State has erected this memorial to her group, which constitutes 867 graves, the largest state group in the Cemetery.
Marken & Bielfeld, Inc. Frederick, Md.
4A-H761
This is the third in my series of redone postcards of Gettysburg. This one was fairly straight forward to get. Obviously the road, or walking path, the circles the memorial has been moved. The brick building shown in the old card actually sits further around the the left (unless this is a second building) The water tower is new also. As for the addition stones? Only Mr. Marken and Mr. Bielfeld could explain that one.
