The Mystery of Chester Berry's grave...

Pam Newhouse told me recently that Rev. Chester Berry's grave is missing headstone or other marker...

Chester Berry, 20th Michigan Infantry, captured at Cold Harbor (June 2 1864), interred in Andersonville Prison, survivor of the Sultana disaster, and author of "Loss of the Sultana and Reminiscences of Survivors" (1892), died in New Jersey on November 22, 1926 of a cerebral hemorrhage. He died at the Arthur Pitney Comfort Home in East Orange, NJ and was buried two days later in Glendale Cemetery in nearby Bloomfield, NJ. Although his burial plot is listed on cemetery records, there is no gravestone or marker of any kind. Surely something could and should be done about that. (He was living with his son Paul in Theodore, Alabama in 1924, so it looks as if he died alone in New Jersey. A mystery!)
