Besides the go, whose names were ascer.
tanned, there were large number OF both
Rebel and Union soldiers inferred Of whom
DO information leading to their identity could
be discovered. Head boards were also placed
at the graves Of these men, bearing simply the
words unknown U. S. Soldier" or Gun
known Confederate Soldier" las the case might
fell.
These bodies are all inferred in two GENE.
teries laid out for the purpose, the arrange
ments OF the same being similar to the Gov.
these cemeteries is On the Orange Court House
turnpike, and the other on the Plank Road,
near the Brock Road. At the functions of
these roads hand boards have been erected
pointing in the direction of the cemeteries with
the distance therefrom, SO that parties in search
of the remains Of deceased relatives and friends
can easily find their resting place.
We understand that working parties will
shortly be sent to the Coal HaIbor and North
Ann battle fields to inter the bodies Of soldiers
exposed to view there.
