"There are many Union and Confederate casualties' and officer's burials there, but they are scattered.
"In the past year I have come across three brand new Confederate casualties' markers there, all apparently from Gettysburg. Someone is working on those, but I don't know who.
"Green Mount is a very old and very prestigious cemetery that is beautifully kept."

Father - Samuel Mortimer Lowrie - died in Missouri in 1846 of yellow fever.
Military - Confederate - Company 'H' - Eleventh Regiment - NC Troops
Killed In Action - War Between The States - Battle @ Gettysburg, Adams County, PA
Place of Burial: Battle At Gettysburg
Confederate burials did not receive placement in the Gettysburg National Cemetery. Efforts in the 1870s by Southern veterans' societies eventually relocated 3,200 Confederate remains to cemeteries in Virginia, Georgia, and the Carolinas, such as Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond, Virginia. A few Confederates do remain interred at Gettysburg National Cemetery.
