John Helton , 2Kansas Cav CO I

Hi My name is John Rogers, I live in St David Arizona, it is a small town a few miles from Tombstone. In our cemetary there is a marker for John Helton it says in it..

John Helton

2 Kans Cav

Co I

I am hoping that it might be of some help to someone looking for his place of rest,I have been thinking that he might have some decendants that might be wondering where he is buried. I can get pictures of it if nescessary.There are no dates on it, it is a plain white marble marker,rectangular shaped with a rounded top, I am pretty sure it is a military veterans marker. His name is written in a arc at the top of it and the words 2 Kans Cav,Co I are written in two lines below it. I have been keeping the grave site cleaned, and every year when we place flags at the graves of the veterans on Memorial Day,I place one on his grave.I am not saying this to call attention to myself,far from it,I say it in hopes that his family will find out about it and know that it is being cared for.If anyone has any information on Him, his family or his military service please let Me know, I would really love to know more about him. Thank You.

Sincerely,

John Rogers
