re: Forgotten Graves

I remember reading a newspaper article about a grave on private property in Louisiana that I found fascinating. IIRC, there was a Civil War skirmish on a family's property and after the skirmish was over and the soldiers left, the family found the body of a young Yankee and buried him. He was carrying identification and they had a gravestone made. After the war, the family was able to contact the next of kin of the young Yankee and the family promised them that his final resting place would be cared for. The article showed pictures of the gravesite and it was very neat, grass trimmed, etc. The same family still owned the land and followed through on their promise.
