    3. Thought this might be of interest to someone on the list: This came from "Roll of Honor " Mark Hughes page 188 The Skirmishes at Appomattox Station and Appomattox Courth House on April 8th, 1865, convinced General Lee that his army's line of retreat was cut off. Lee had no option but to "go and see General Grant", as he put it. In May of 1865 the ladies of Appomattox met to from an association to preserve the graves of Confederate who were killed in the vicinity. On Dec. 1, 1866, eighteen Confederates (ten unknown) and one unknown Union Soldier were reinterred in what is now known as the United Daughters of the Confederacy Cemetery. Other Union Soldiers killed at Appomattox Court House were moved to the Poplar Grove National Cemetery near Petersburg. These Civil War Soldiers are buried within the boundaries of the Appomattox Court House National Histoical Park.
