While on vacation in October 1999, I stopped by the National Cemetery in Hampton Va. The
site of the National Soldiers Home and Hospital. I was searching for my Great Grandfather
Robert J. Holt’s grave. Much to my surprise, I also found his brothers grave along with
other solders from the Civil War from Delaware & Maryland all in close proximity of each
other. I wrote down what I could make out on the badly weathered headstones.
