MARKING GRAVES
OF COGFEDERATES
BY THE GOVERNMENT
THE LAST RESTING PLACES OF
THOSE WHO DIED IN PRISON
ARE DESIGNATED.
SUGGESTION CAME FROM M'KINLEY

SUGGtSIlUN CAME fRUM klNLLl
Gen. James H. Berry Has Completed
| Work Set on Foot-More Thar
$4,000 Bodies Now Covered by
Headstones or Tablets.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-So far as
an earnest and careful search by enc
of their own leaders on the field OF
battle can assure, every Confederate
soldier or sailor who died in north
ern prison and was buried nearby
now lies beneath a headstone or a
monument Of marble. Gen. James H.
Berry, ex-senator from Arkansas, the
only surviving member of the COM
mission entrusted by congress with
this task. has just reported the COM
pletion of his work to the secretary
of war.
The suggestion that the national
government mark these long neglect
ed graves came originally from the
late President Mckinley in the course
of one Of his speeches delivered In
the south and took form in an act
Of congress of March 9, 1906. This
appropriated 100000 for marking
the graves and created a commission
to do the work. In the past two
years two commissioners, ex.Repre-
sentative Elliott, of South Carolina,
and Gov. Oates, Of Alabama, have
passed away and 1t has remained for
Gen .eBrry, one Of the few living
Confederate generals to carry out the
work.
Gen. Berry's report will be trans
mitted to congress. It shows that
the general found and marked by
headstones and tablets the bodies of
22,401 Confederate dead, including all
positively known to fall within the
terms of the act. In every case
where 1t was possible each of these
graves was marked with white mar
BILE headstone, similar to those places
over the graves of the Confederate
section of the Arlington national GEM
etery.
In cases where the Identification of
individual graves was impossible
monuments were erected with bronze
tablets attached giving the names
and commands of those SO honored.
A monument Of that character was
erected at Point Lookout, Md, to
mark the burial place of about 1884
Similar monuments
have been erected by the government
at Chicago, North Alton, Ill.,, Indianap-
oils, Firms Point, N. j., Philadelphia,
Shahola, Pa. Harrodsburg, KY, Ev-
ansville. Terre Haut, and Lafayette,
Ind, and other places.
There are bout 4,400 Confederates
buried at lakewood cemetery, at Chi
cago, about 2,400 at Firms Point and
! smaller number at each of the 9TH
Or places named.
The graves marked with individu-
al headstones number nearly 10000 a
arge majority of them being in Gem.
eteries in Elmira, N. Y, Columbus,
D., Rock Island, ILL.,, Jefferson Bar
'acks, Mo-, Springfield, ILL.,, and Mad
