Recalling that the Chapter had placed a marker in this area in October 2002 as part of a six-week-long project of marking the graves of 37 Revolutionary War soldiers in Stark County, Mrs. Upole read a brief biographical sketch of each of the four soldiers honored at this ceremony: Jacob Bower, who served seven years in the war: Pvt. John Stephen Garl, a former Hessian soldier who served under General George Washington; Pvt. John Kuhn, German Regiment, Continental Troops; and Pvt. Andrew Shaffer, Pennsylvania Continental Line, 2^nd Pennsylvania Regiment. The biographical material was part of a list compiled by our late member Eileen Knipfer in 1983 of known graves of Revolutionary War soldiers in Stark County, 

     The Veterans Memorial Committee of the Uniontown Community Park Association has placed a new marker and four tiles engraved with the soldiers' names in the existing memorial area that commemorates the cemetery now covered by the church’s parking lot. The event was jointly sponsored by the church and the committee. It was the subject of a news item on FOX 8 TV in Cleveland that evening.
