    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Candelet Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/SBC.2ACI/403 Message Board Post: My GGG Grandfather, John Lawton Candelet died January 26, 1864. Per his families pension record he died at the Seminary Hospital in Fairfax. Per his obit, he was "temporarily" intered at the "Soldier Hospital in Culpeper" and his bodied was to be later moved back to Philadelphia. However, the family had a split soon after and I doubt the body was ever moved. Anyone know how to track were he is? I'm not sure why they would have buried him "temporarily" in Culpeper if he died in Fairfax? Are there any cemeteries near where the Seminary Hospital was? Are there record somewhere that show when bodies were exhumed and sent home? I've been searching all over Philadelphia with no luck.
