Re: Seeking Burial location of Pvt Lewis Moore
Susannah Brooks Aug 2, 2020 11:00 PM (in response to Chris Hollenbeck)There is a Lewis Moore with no birth or death dates buried at Leavenworth National Cemetery. https://www.leavenworthcounty.gov/cemeterydb.asp
When I went to findagrave.com it appears that this person died much later than the Civil War.
Fort Leavenworth has its own cemetery, so logic says that he would have been buried there, but there is no record of the burial.
