The pointer, at pointer size: the Cemeteries leg of this build owns the burial ground whole; this section records only where the service record comes to rest. The town's ground is Woodlawn Cemetery, south of U.S. 6 — with its North Woodlawn ground across the town's north side — and Barber Cemetery, both standing in the Veterans Affairs burial record under Walkerton. The VA record's Woodlawn lines run from the two Civil War-age leads of the named-men article (John Schwartz, 1838–1922, and Joseph Stevenson, 1836–1908, both Army stones, neither war stated) through the Second World War's homecomers named in the frame article above, to the modern rows — David Joseph Garab, Army specialist (1956–2017); John Jerry Zulliger, Marine Corps corporal (1940–2016) — and the North Woodlawn lines carry George W. and John V. Quigley, both Army. Burial in this ground is not a home-of-record attribution and is used as attribution nowhere in this section. Of the town's proved war dead: Roderick's grave does not stand in any source read; Williams has no grave — he lies where he fell, on Hill 1282, and is commemorated on the Courts of the Missing; Hewitt came home to a national cemetery in Ohio in 2010; Leonhard's burial does not stand in the record reached; and the other five of the Vietnam six rest where their families laid them, unrecorded in any source. The town's dead of its wars rest, so far as this record goes, mostly elsewhere — which is precisely why the 1947 stone and the park monument matter, and why reading their names in person stands in the register below.
