XS Last week on your porch we spoke of the canon's disappearance at the Bergholz Civil War Memorial on CR53 (Berghollz Summerset Rd). It's back and loosely propped on an old sandstone block with the fallen solders names and units inscribed. May have been the original base of the current monument? This muzzle loading canon has a huge rifled bore. The access path is now graded and any bike or car can drive up with a large parking area and even has a blue and white disabled parking sign. I am standing on the stump of what was one of the those enormous bushes. maps.google.com/maps/ms?hl=en&ie=UTF8&msa=0&msid=100719620543189507861.0004896c401867f7d58a2&ll=40.550331,-80.776291&spn=0.215477,0.427094&z=11

It's back ! I'm glad to hear that. There is an old cemetery about 2 miles south of Salineville on Rt 164 that has tombstones dating back to the 1700s, I think there are some civil war dead buried there too. I was told some of the dead are from when Morgan was defeated near Salineville. Morgan's raiders: www.ohiohistorycentral.org/entry.php?rec=610
