Continuing with Roadtrippin Through History with Theodore Timby. His body was removed from Evergreen(s) Cemetery in New York City and moved to this cemetery in the nation's capital.
These people, as in the last post, are not necessarily involved in the Civil War. They're just people I've heard of or thatn I found interesting reading some about them.

** JOSEPH K. BARNES: (1817-1883) Union Surgeon General. On the morning after Lincoln was assassinated, he attended the death bed and oversaw the autopsy. Also served as surgeon for the dying President James Garfield after he was mortally wounded by an assassin.
