A New Legacy for a Civil War Hero

Two diligent middle school students, Kendall Peruzzini and Mary McCormick from Albion Middle School in New York, have embarked on a mission to honor a long-forgotten Civil War veteran, Daniel Walterhouse, by securing him a proper headstone. Walterhouse, whose service included enduring time in a Confederate prison camp, had been without a marked grave until these students uncovered his story. The pair’s initiative aims not only to provide recognition for Walterhouse’s unique contributions but also to educate their community about the sacrifices of past generations. Their efforts, which have gained attention and support, highlight the importance of remembering all who have served, ensuring that heroes like Walterhouse are forgotten no more.
