Misspelling on headstone

I spent some more time at Evergreen Cemetery this weekend and found several more headstones with names to research.

One headstone, however, stood out.

It looks like a "normal" headstone, not a typical veteran's stone, and the only reason I found it was that an American flag stuck in the headstone next to it caught my attention

On the base, it says "Civil War Vertran" - that is correct - they misspelled "veteran" on the headstone of Harvey Liggett.

I'll now research him a bit more - I see 2 Harvey Liggetts in Ohio units so I'll have to try to figure out which one was him, but I have found that he had an obituary in the Kentucky Post in 1924, so I'll have to find that article and see what it shows.

Here are 3 pictures I took of his stone.
