I have been a volunteer and historian for the past 15 years, Although I am no longer a historian for the National Park Service at Andersonville I still do volunteer research for the public. I am writing you to let you know there is no grave marker with the name Uriah McNeely on it. I did however find his grave which is misidentified as E. Meany who was with Company I 14th Iowa Infantry. I have a copy of the Andersonville National Cemetery records database here at my home and the database verifies that grave number 13054 in Section B ( Post was burials )
