Answer to Quiry
about the Grave Location
of Charles WRIGGLESWORTH
in Hamilton County Ohio.

I am sorry it took me so long to get back to you. The veteran you are looking for is buried at Spring Grove Cemetery in Cincinnati Ohio. His name is misspelled in the cemetery record as Wigglesworth and to make matters even worse they misspelled it a different way on the stone as MIGGLESWORTH. He is buried in Section 21B Grave 36 BUT since they numbered them (Section 21 is a Section devoted to Civil War Soldiers) from the beginning of the first burial he has the number 372 carved on top of the marker.

All of the soldiers here get flags put on their grave every Memorial Day as well as at different times of the year. Our SUVCW camp (Gen Wm H Lytle Camp #10 holds a Memorial Day service at Section 21 every year.

I am attaching 2 pictures we took of the marker we cleaned it as best we could.
