Note: Brewster/Bruster~One story is that when the brothers, James & Joseph, entered the service, their names were spelled differently.  As you enter Walton Cemetery, Joseph W. is to the left of the gate and James E. is to the right of the gate, each with the different spellings of the surname on their respective tombstones.
