Major Rathbone's accomodation in Hannover

[RJNorton]

Laurie, I also have heard the bombing story. There is an article titled "The Rathbone Connection" by Frank Rathbun in the July 1982 Surratt Society News. I believe this article was also cited in another thread on the forum. The author cites the research of Mr. James O. Hall and Mrs. Peggy Hlavacek. He writes Rathbone was buried in Germany in the city cemetery at Hannover/Engeohde. As time passed, the cemetery management checked out lots with no recent burials and no correspondence indicating family interest. It was decided that Rathbone's remains could be dug up and the bones disposed of.
