A video titled "Silent Tales from Richland Cemetery" will be presented at the Monday, April 23 meeting of the Peters Creek Historical Society by program chairman Richard Gaetano.
The only known picture of Edward Pigford (1854-1932), Private, 7th Calvary, Reno's Battalion, Company M, Battle of Little Bighorn. |
The cemetery is a gravesite of 13 acres in Dravosburg, where several local figures of historical interest are interred. The DVD is a project of the Dravosburg Community intent on archiving the stories of local soldiers like Jabez Griffiths, who carried Lincoln from Ford’s Theater, and Edward Pigford, who served with Custer and survived the Battle of Little Bighorn. The meeting begins at 7:30 p.m. at Wrights United Methodist Church Hall, 788 Venetia Road, Venetia. Refreshments will be served. For further information: www.peterscreekhistoricalsociety.org.
