Cemeteries lost and found

This tour guide has found 14 ACW veterans in the city cemeteries of Hamilton, Ontario, "including two African-American soldiers in unmarked graves."

Meanwhile, roadworkers in West Virginia have discovered a family cemetery with Civil War interred, and notified the family in question.

The family member they contacted is a genealogist.
