Rebel Sympathy
Summary
Horace Schell, a local man who joined the Rebel army when Lee invaded Maryland, was captured and imprisoned at Camp Chase in Columbus, Ohio. He died there and his remains were sent back to Frederick for burial at Mt. Olivet Cemetery. During his interment, a woman who was a Rebel sympathizer, "more zealous than considerate," tossed a small Confederate flag on his coffin which was subsequently removed. Horace was the son of the late Joseph Schell, a "highly respectable citizen."
