Yes, there is a bullet hole in the historical marker.

I cannot, at this time, give the location. It is also a photo tag with another group and, until someone tags it, location is up to them to find it. Please DO NOT post the location here or I'll refrain from posting any GT's on this forum.

I looked for it on google maps, but couldn't pinpoint the exact location. I saw another view of the cemetery sign and it had a building in the picture that I thought might be easy to locate on google, but no luck.

I got the ball park though.
