Powell's Remains

[L Verge]

You will notice to the right in the aerial view the name of Rock Creek Church Road. I believe that it was named that in Lincoln's time and either intersected with another route or was part of the route that he rode to the summer home on the grounds of the Soldiers' Home. I am not that familiar with that section of upper D.C., however.

I have a great-uncle buried in Rock Creek Cemetery, but have never visited his grave. He was the infant son of Eli Huntt, who had his parents up for a night feeding when they heard riders go through T.B. about 1 am in the morning of April 15, 1865.
