Thank you very much, Bill. Seeing your Civil War organization credentials, your advice holds even more weight. I checked both Military & Pension papers of my Union soldier - Robert Bramhall Jr. of Ohio - and neither make mention of burial place. Logic tells me it had to be close to the hospital. Congratulations to your father on his 91st! It sounds like you have great genes! Thank you AND everyone else for your good wishes for Mom.. she's doing better this week. <Sharon><

Sharon, Do you know in which OH regiment he served? Cav or Infantry? Where he enlisted? Some wealthy families could afford to bring them back home for interment. Some burial sites have no logic. If I were in Ohio, I'd go to a large library and look for regimental histories. We in Mich. have the "Brown" books with an alphabetic index and individual volumes by regiment giving a brief bio w/ all known military info, including woundings, date & place of death AND burial. If in a Nat'l cemetery, even the plot number. How else can I help? Good hunting.
