Not in Antietam National Cemetery

There are several stones in the Antietam National Cemetery (ANC) for men who were actually buried elsewhere.

Readers occasionally ask about this, and I can never find them when I want them, hence this list.  It may evolve as I learn more.

Rank	Name	Unit	Death	Actual burial place
Pvt	Bridgeman J. Hollister	16th CT Inf	25 Sept 1862	Wassuc Cemetery, Glastonbury, CT
Pvt	Oliver Cromwell Case	8th CT Inf	17 Sept 1862	Simsbury Cemetery, Simsbury, CT
Pvt	Henry Struble	8th PA Reserves	2 June 1926	St. John’s Reformed Cemetery, Greenburg, PA

While I’m at it – here are some other interesting things about burials in the ANC that I’ve seen:

• Although intended otherwise, there is, in fact, at least one known Confederate soldier buried here. He’s Lieutenant William Ellison of the 18th Mississippi Infantry. More about that burial here.
• There may be a very large dog resting in the cemetery with his owner, Captain Werner von Bachelle of the 6th Wisconsin Infantry.
• There is at least one replacement stone in the cemetery – apparently installed to correct an error in his home state – for Corporal W.W. Farmer of the 8th Ohio (vice Connecticut).
• The burial place of David Spencer Milburn of Company D, 13th New Jersey Infantry is found under stone #159 marked “Dan’l Mibbon, N.Y” – cemetery records have him in Company G of the 13th New York. Perhaps he’ll get a new marker too?
