April 20, 1863.

OWNERS:

It is a National Cemetery.

DESCRIPTION:

This stone is a white marble slab fifty-five inches long and one hundred forty-
two inches wide and lays out flat on the ground.

HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE:


The inscription on the stone is as follows:

In Memory of
Mary Galt
and daughter of Lieutenant Thomas G. & Louise E. Baylor
Born April 20th 1863
Died June 7th, 1863

The cemetery superintendent says this person is from the same family of Galts 
whose children cut their names in the engineer’s office built at Fort Monroe, in 
1819.  This family of Galts lived at the fort in 1845, and this is probably a 
grandchild.  The records in the National Cemetery at Hampton, Virginia, show 
that this child died at Fort Monroe.
