Major Henry Z. Curtis & Baxter Springs

From the National Cemetery lot in the Baxter Springs, Kansas, Cemetery:



The victims of the Baxter Springs massacre who were buried near Fort Blair were re-interred here. Major Henry Z. Curtis's name is on the statue; though a newspaper account of his funeral stated that his body was brought home to Keokuk, Iowa, and buried there.
