A World War I veteran finally gets a grave marker in Mattapan

Matthew Burke writes how he tracked down the life of Pvt. Elmer Gorham, who served as a medic on the front lines in France - and how he found his unmarked grave in New Calvary Cemetery on the Mattapan/Roslindale line.

Now, Pvt. Gorham belongs to the ages, his name etched in stone along with his service during The Great War. It may fade with time and someday be reclaimed by the earth, but by installing it, we are saying thank you, at least for today, 100 years later.
