*********************************************************************************************************************************
Hiram and his wife Charlotte were born in New York, they were married circa 1854. The Staffords migrated to the Houston Minnesota area. The Staffords had 5 children, these were all born in Minnesota. Hiram enlisted in the army during the Civil War, this was but for a very short time, according to his records he had many medical problems. Hiram was discharged 7/24/1865, and died in 1884
There is another Civil war veteran buried in the grave just south of Hirams. This is Ralph Kirkland who died 9/8/1882. There isn't any tombstone for this grave, but if we could get a little more information I am sure this could be acquired. He supposedly was in the same army unit as Hiram Stafford.
