stones are
common and in some cases you find the same person with several stones
about,
relatives wanted to honor them in several places at times. The
information as
to their burials comes from a roster of Iowa soldiers, I know for a
fact that
at Andersonville, at least when it comes to those who were buried as
prisoners
only one Iowan was exhumed and brought home. that
is
one in several hundred from Iowa, so bringing bodies home, although
possible,
was expensive and often it didn't happen. Hence, a memorial stone
sufficed.
