Standing on a stone pedestal on sloping ground and almost hidden from view by the trees which surround it, the bronze statue of a Union Army soldier maintains a lonely vigil over the oldest public veterans 1 burial ground in the Bronx, Old West Farms Soldier Cemetery. Here, among shade trees in a modestly landscaped wire-fenced enclosure, the remains of forty veterans of four wars lie beneath well marked stones in a quiet, sequestered and historic place of about two-thirds of an acre. There is not a building in this Cemetery, but there are handsome tombstones, some honoring the last resting places of those who made the supreme sacrifice in defense of the Union.
