The Veterans Memorial in Jordan lists all those known to have lived in Garfield County and served in the armed forces. The earliest names are those who fought in the Civil War and came to homestead, or live with relatives, in Garfield County in their old age. Since this is the 150th anniversary of the Civil War we will give a little more information about these men this Memorial Day. FRANCIS ADAMS (1844-1915) Company B, Maine 30th Infantry.
