The topic of graves comes up often. Just an aside. While looking for my g-g-grandfather's site I visited a cemetery near Petersburg, VA. The caretaker told me that Union markers are round on top. Confederate markers come to a point like a roof on a house. He smiled and said Confederate markers are that way so Yankees can't sit on them.
