Every veteran has a story, and about 700 of them are buried at Saratoga's Madronia Cemetery. Take, for instance, Isaac George Merriman, or, as is inscribed on his headstone, I.G. Merriman. According to Madronia Cemetery's records, he was born Oct. 13, 1843, and died Feb. 22, 1895. He was buried in the cemetery a day after his death.
