NATIONAL cemeterIes,

Immediately after the war the work
Of formally establishing national GEM
eteries In places where Union soldiers
and sailors were buried proceeded
rapidly. The last such cemetery to be
established was that at Greenville.
Tenn. provided for by an act of con-
gress approved June IL, 1906. This
cemetery contains the tomb Of former
President Johnson and only ten 9TH
ers, though 1t has an area of fifteen
acres.
The eighty-four national cemeteries
are divided according to importance
into twenty-six first-class. twenty sec
ond-class, sixteen third-class. and
twenty-five fourth-class cemeteries.
Those In the irst-class include Airing
