    1. [GEN~TIPS] Civil War Burial
    2. Hello Listers, This may not be the list to ask this, but I don't have any idea where to look. I have a great uncle, John Franklin Lowe, whom I finally located. He had joined the Union Army in Rush Co., Indiana. He died at Germantown, Shelby Co., TN, near Memphis of Typhoid Fever 7 Jul 1862. I have his mother's pension papers. However, I would like to know where he was buried. I doubt whether they shipped bodies home then. I looked through a number of Civil War cemetery books for Tennessee with no luck. Would they just bury them in a field where they died, is there someplace it could check? I don't want to send for his military record he was only in a short time before dying. The pension gave me much information, except for his age and where he was buried. I did get the place and date of his father and mother's death that I did not have before. I know Illinois has Civil War soldiers listed, but have not found them in Indiana. Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions someone may have and share with me.
