30 I May 18, 2022 MID RIVERS NEWSMAGAZINE @MIDRIVERSNEWS MIDRIVERSNEWSMAGAZINE.COM HISTORY AT HOME, from page 14 not of a soldier but rather the infant daughter of an officer. Elizabeth (Eliza) Ann Lash was laid to rest on Aug. 5, 1827. Today, more than 237,000 people are buried there. Of those are Revolutionary War veterans Private Richard Gentry, Major Russell Bissell and Colonel Thomas Hunt. Hunt and Bissell were originally buried at Fort Bellefontaine, and Gentry was buried near Richmond, Kentucky. All three men’s remains were moved to Jefferson Barracks in the 20th century. Also buried there are about 14,000 Civil War soldiers, including 1,140 Confederate soldiers, most of whom were prisoners of war. Many of the graves of both Union and Confederate soldiers that are marked “unknown” are the graves of those who died of smallpox. They were originally buried on Arsenal Island also known as Smallpox Island on the western side of the Mississippi River across from Alton, Illinois. Flooding, however, had washed away their original markers and so the remains were unidentifiable when they were moved to Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery. Within the cemetery, there are many memorials, including The Fort Bellefontaine Monument, a red granite boulder that was donated in 1904 by the Daughters of the American Revolution in honor of the officers and soldiers who died at Fort WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE YOU GO • Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery is located at 2900 Sheridan Road in south St. Louis (63125). It is open to visitors every day of the year from dawn until dusk. Memorial Day observations will be taking place throughout the cemetery on Sunday, May 29 (when Boy Scouts will be placing flags at every grave) and Monday, May 30. • Soldiers Memorial Military Museum is located at 1315 Chestnut St. in St. Louis (63103). It is open from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday with a special Memorial Day Commemoration taking place from 11 a.m.-5 p.m. in the Court of Honor on Monday, May 30. • Missouri’s National Veterans Memorial is located at 1172 Veterans Memorial Pkwy. in Perryville, (63775). The Wall and Welcome Center/Museum are open from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. daily. • Jefferson Barracks County Park is located at 345 North Bellefontaine (Belle Fontaine), which was located about 20 miles north of St. Louis and is today a county park. According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, the remains of 175 officers and soldiers of the 56th U.S. Colored Troops Infantry were removed from a cemetery at the former Koch Quarantine Hospital in St. Louis in 1939, and re-interred at Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery. The men died of cholera in August 1866. The monument to the 56th USCT also was moved from its original location at Koch hospital and reerected at Jefferson Barracks. A water fountain designed by award-winning architect Eugene J. Mackey Jr. also serves as a memorial within the cemetery. Dedicated on Memorial Day 1952, it pays homage to the 35th Division, an infantry formation of the U.S. Army National Guard that dates to 1918. Mackey may be best known locally for designing the Climatron at the Missouri Botanical Garden, but his mid-century structure monument made of polished pink granite is likewise unique as the only memorial water fountain found in a National Cemetery Association cemetery. Many of the memorials have been erected in the last 25 years, including a carillon bell tower that was erected as part of the Road in St. Louis (63125). It is open daily 8 a.m. until 30 minutes past sunset and features seven museums, including the Old Ordnance Room, the Powder Magazine Museum, the Visitors Center, the Laborers House and Ordnance Stable, which are operated by the county and are free and open to the public from noon-4 p.m., Wednesday through Sunday.

It is open daily 8 a.m. until 30 minutes past sunset. AMVETS international carillon program to provide living memorials in honor of American veterans. According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, the bell tower, at the time of its installation, was described as “a very fine instrument [whose] beautiful tones can be heard throughout the entire cemetery and beyond.” Every monument and gravesite within the cemetery has a story to tell. The same can be said of the Soldiers Memorial Military Museum and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.

The power of art Immanuel Lutheran St. Charles art instructor Christine Nixon and her seventh and eighth grade students recently welcomed the opportunity to contribute to the Art of Healing wall located near the main lobby of SSM Health St. Joseph Hospital - St. Charles. “We are always looking for opportunities to make connections in our community, and I just loved the mission statement that we were asked to reflect on as the designs were created for St. Joe’s,” Nixon said. Students at Immanuel Lutheran St. Charles created artwork for the Art of Healing wall at SSM Health St. Joseph Hospital - St. Charles Source: Provided) The Art of Healing wall creates an environment to engage the youth in the community and find out what the ‘art of healing’ and, more specifically, ‘God’s healing presence’ means to them. The artwork adds aesthetic value to the hospital hallways and allows patients and visitors to view the SSM Health Mission through the lens of a student. Be sure to visit the installation to be immersed in the gift of creativity.
