Corporal Foulke (1825-1911) was a member of Company D, Iowa 34th Infantry Regiment. While this is not a Civil War Monument, it is included since it is so unusual and it is the memorial or tombstone for a Civil War Veteran. The Carlisle Cemetery is on the south side of town - take S. Fifth Street to the cemetery. It is located approximately in the center of the cemetery. Photos taken 11/23/09.
