I received a copy of John's military papers from the VA.
He enlisted 18 Sep 1876 as a soldier in the Army for 5 years.
His Petition for Naturalization papers (I have a copy of now) states he came to the U.S. on 15 Sep 1867-so not a Civil War Veteran.
A Veteran's Monument will be dedicated at his grave on Memorial Day, 2009 at Santa Ana Cemetery, Santa Ana, Orange County, CA.
