I've had a question from someone concerning an ancestor of his who was captured/wounded at Cashtown Gap, near Gettysburg, somehow was taken to hospital in Chester, died there in August of 1863 and was buried. This Confederate soldier is said to have been buried in the "Chester Cemetery''.....so my questions are directed to locals (and, you know who you are!). Where were wounded Confederate soldiers treated in Aug of '63, and where would they have been buried locally? Sandra -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

On http://www.findagrave.com there are three possibilities: Carter Cemetery in Chester (map shows location) Chester Rural Cemetery in Chester(map shows location) Chester Friends Cemetery(no map) I know of at least one old cemetery located next to an office where my husband worked in the 1950's that was relocated due to building.It was on the main business street but I don't have any names.I think there are most likely others that were relocated due to the building boom in the business area. Anyway ordinarily I would go there to search but Chester is an area to avoid these days even with a university there-crime all around the town.I'll ask my husband if he can think of anything else.

I found a possible answer on http://www.oldchesterpa.com/crc/crcmain.html It is a cemetery founded in March 1863 and among the first interments were casualties from the civil war-both sides. It has a link to find a searchable index of all those ever interred at Chester Rural. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sandra Ferguson" <ferg@ntelos.net> To: <pa-old-chester-l@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, September 16, 2006 7:14 PM Subject: [PaOldC] treating Confed. wounded in Chester > I've had a question from someone concerning an ancestor of his who was > captured/wounded at Cashtown Gap, near Gettysburg, somehow was taken to > hospital in Chester, died there in August of 1863 and was buried.
