IN LOVING REMBRANCE OF
MY BROTHER
Lieutenant Colonel Maurice E. Fagan’s segmented-top white marble gravestone features a banner hanging from a rifle. In the center the banner, two swords are crossed, honoring Fagan’s service in the Pennsylvania Volunteer Cavalry. Crossed swords on a gravestone nearly always marks the burial spot of a highly ranked military officer, as in this instance.
