Final Rest

This is a page that for a long time I have been meaning to create. I have a relatively large backlog of information about burial locations scattered throughout my notes. I will do my best to get to them soon. In the meantime, you will just have to consider this page "under construction."

Note that I have not been consistent in where on the site I have listed deaths and burial places. Sometimes it is here, and sometimes it is as a link from the man's name in the roster. Check both places.

Please, if you have any information suitable for this page, send it to me.
