In the summer of 2016, all Plum Lake Cemetery monuments/markers were cleaned, if appropriate, and then photographed by Max E. Rockafellow, member of the Eagle River Genealogical Society. Photographs were reviewed andadditions and corrections were made to the Initial Cemetery Transcriptions of burials recorded during 2006-2007. Photographs of mouments/markers were then added to www.findagrave.com for geneagolist to research via the internet.

The Master Plum Lake Cemetery Burial Records are maintained and held by the Sexton, Jim Mortag, of the Plum Lake Cemetery, aka: Sayner Cemetery.

COINS LEFT ON CEMETERY HEADSTONES

While visiting some cemeteries you may notice that headstones marking graves have coins on them, left by previous visitors to the grave. These coins have distinct meanings when left on the headstones of those who gave their life while serving in America's Military, and these meanings vary depending on the denomination of coin.

A coin left on a headstone or at the grave site is meant as a message to the deceased soldier's family that someone else has visited the grave to pay respect. Leaving a penny at the grave means simply that you visited. A nickel indicates that you and the deceased trained at boot camp together, while a dime means you served with him in some capacity. By leaving a quarter at the grave, you are telling the family that you were with the soldier when he was killed.

According to tradition, the money left at graves in national cemeteries and state veterans cemeteries is eventually collected, and the funds are put toward maintaining the cemetery or paying burial costs for indigent veterans.

In the US, this practice became common during the Vietnam war, due to the political divide in the country over the war; leaving a coin was seen as a more practical way to communicate that you had visited the grave than contacting the soldier's family, which could devolve into an uncomfortable argument over politics relating to the war. Some Vietnam veterans would leave coins as a "down payment" to buy their fallen comrades a beer or play a hand of cards when they would finally be reunited.

The tradition of leaving coins on the headstones of military men and women can be traced to as far back as the Roman Empire.

In these more current days, coins still show up on military markers and non-military markers along with other small items, be they plaques resting atop the sod or tombstone erected at the head of the burial plot. These small tokens are left by visitors for no greater purpose than to indicate to the family that someone has visited that family member. On non-military headstones, coins, especially pennies, are favored by those who wish to demonstrate that the deceased has not been forgotten. A nickel means you when to school together, a dime you worked together and a quarter, you were there when they passed. In most cases, coins are collected in late fall and used for cemetery maintenance.
