New YORK CRY, Feb. "a, 1879.
|. The following extract from circular,
issued by the War Department is hereby
promulgated for the information OF those
whom it may concern
at is probably generally remsm bsrod
that some years ago lin 1879 Congress
passed law providing for the erection of
durable headstones over the graves OF
soldiers OF the regular aud volunteer forces
Of the United States. whose remains are in
TERED in the national military cemeteries.
This law has been carried out, and the
graves OF the nation dead in these Gene
teries are now permanently marked. At
the instance OF the War Department, Con-
gress has recently authorized the erection
of similar headstOnes over the graves
of the Union soldiers who are buried in
private and village cemeteries. This will
be done as soon As the necessary arrange
ments can be made. In the meantime the
Quartermsster General, at Washington,
will at once proceed to collect the necessary
information a. to where these headstones
are required.
"All persons having any knowledge Of
the burial places of soldiers IN private Gem
eteries. whose graves are not marked, are
requested to communicate the fact TO the
Quartermsster General Similar informs-
ton ia desired from parties in charge o.
such cemeteries.
"Of course, it is not intended to furnish
headstOnes for graves over which mOnu-
ments have already been erected by rel
stives or friends OF the deceased"
