Walker was an early member of the Kappa Sigma fraternity at Hampden Sydney College in VA. http://image2.findagrave.com/photos2...4462231258.jpg Does anyone else know of any tombstones or graves that have fraternity or sorority markings? |
Here is another one, William Conlin Levere who was an SAE

One of our founder's grave bears the letters of Delta Chi and Delta Tau Delta, of which he was also a member.
