From the June13, 2021, WTVQ Hart County, Ky. "Ky Civil War Union soldier gravestone dedication."
The gravestone was made and put in place in 2020, but the dedication was postponed until now because of the pandemic.
The gravestone is that of John Robert Lobb, Co. E, 27th Kentucky Infantry. He was known as "Johnny" and then "Grand Pap" by his family. The dedication was held at Three Forks of Bacon Creek Baptist Church Cemetery near Magnolia in Hart County.
The family had applied to the VA for a new gravestone. Re-enactors were present for the ceremony.
The family related an interesting story about the time he survived 18 days trapped on a mountain surrounded by Confederate soldiers.
