The work of reinterring the dead on
the field Of Gettysburg began on the
twenty.seventh of October, 1868, and
was completed on the eighteenth Of
the following March. The number re-
buried was thirty-five hundred and
seventy.five., This does not mean that
even half the dead we're found. for the
whole field raj dotted with graves.
In r%einterring the bodies in the ceme-
terry every effort was made to discover
the identity Of the men and this in
many cases was done and the relatives
of the dead soldier had his remains
taken home, the Identification being
made through articles found on his
body. An entry Of each article found
was made. These things are kept and
to correspond with the num-
Der of the g%ravestone of him upon
whose body the articles. were found.
