What I know is that Joseph B. Holt was a Civil War veteran having served in the 1st MN Infantry. Joseph and Julia E. (nee: Robbins) were married on April 1st, 1853 at Moline, IL. They had one child, Emily Burt Holt born 11/26/1854. On the 1883 list of veterans receiving pensions, he is listed (as Joseph B. Hoes) to Hammonton, New Jersey and with pension certificate #122,745. Joseph B. died at Hammonton, NJ on 9/8/1899 and Julia E. died 9/18/1895 also at Hammonton. I have been unable to establish any contact with the cemeteries in Hammonton either by phone, letter, or personal visit, but I strongly suspect that they are buried there. I walked the cemeteries twice and did not find a stone for them either. Doesn't mean that there isn't one, it just means that I couldn't find it.
