As a side note, our General Manager was involved in obtaining a military marker for Matthew Bickford who was killed during the civil war. He is buried in Bayview Cemetery, City of Bellingham, WA. Matthew Bickford and his wife were in unmarked burial sites until Mr. Gratny, our General Manager, discovered that Private Bickford had been awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for his actions during a storming party. His grave is now marked with a bronze military marker representing his accomplishments and a large upright monument donated by local veteran's organizations.
