Soldiers Who Fell at Antietam
Summary
A man who recently recovered the body of a relative killed at Antietam was assisted in his efforts by Mr. Anderson, the proprietor of The Union Hotel in Hagerstown and a Union refugee from Virginia. Mr. Anderson did not ask any charge for his assistance. Aaron Good of Sharpsburg has a list of all the Union dead buried at Sharpsburg and "by his help the graves can easily be found, but he demands a large fee for his services." This information may prove useful to anyone who has friends buried in the area of Sharpsburg and wants to recover the remains. [from Chambersburg Repository and Transcript]
