stone difference

Confederate stones are pointy. Camp Chase Confederate Cemetery Columbus Ohio.
United States servicemen's stones are rounded. Green Lawn Cemetery Columbus Ohio.
This was a new stone at Green Lawn. The newness begs a question. Was this a replacement? since he has been dead for a long time, or was he transferred here recently? Well i read in 2019, they replaced stones that were incorrect. Notice this is a Union stone, with a soldier in a Tennessee unit. This may be one of the four that had a pointy stone, and the unit was thought a confederate one; but after Union victories, the Union recruited units from former rebellious parts of the nation. Also, 62 is old for a soldier.
