Over 25 Civil War Veterans Found in Seattle Funeral Home, With Some Being Union Soldiers

CNN  

For several decades, the cremated remains of more than two dozen American Civil War veterans languished in storage facilities at a funeral home and cemetery in Seattle. The simple copper and cardboard urns gathering dust on shelves only had the name of each of the 28 soldiers – but nothing linking them to the Civil War. However, through genealogical research, a team of volunteers confirmed their war service and determined that they were all Union soldiers deserving of a burial service with military honors.
