RE: Powell's Remains
I learned under the masters, Gene - Messrs. Hall and Brennan. I knew that the bodies were removed from the Arsenal in 1869 and followed it from there.
Once the 2nd edition of my book is published hopefully within a few months, I'll teach you my tricks of the trade.... I don't know how big the lots are as they are not marked on the plat and there are no measurements recorded in the plat book. I just know what is recorded in the books and what the Director of the Cemetery told me. There are small stones marking which plot is which; i.e. 23, 24, etc. by number and those are sporadically placed - at least they seemed so to me. According to most accounts, Wirtz is buried in Mount Olivet Cemetery in DC - where Mrs. Surratt is buried.... "The Past is a foreign country...they do things differently there" - L. P. Hartley |
