Cemetery at Jeffersonville to be National Resting Place
Names identified. Jeffersonville falls under the Department of the Cumberland. Records filed with Major E. B. Warman in Louisville. The United States Government owns the six acre cemetery once used for hospital grounds now neglected. One half proposed for sale to restore the remainder, but government may keep all and move city graves there. About a hundred buried in the city graveyard will be removed to the National Cemetery by the Quartermaster. The graves lie crowded like a Potter’s Field and shame the sacrifice of fallen soldiers. The Grand Army of the Republic plans improvements once authorized to honor the sleepers.
