Eric — There was a campaign a few years ago to raise funds to replace Hazlett’s tombstone, which I think was successful. I think that pic on findagrave is an old one.

Yep, I’ve seen it. Poor old Rosey just seems to be ignored, which is also a real shame.

Eric

I agree–that is a great photo.

As for Hazlett, his grave hasn’t been well maintained, which is a real shame.

Eric

Lots of cool stuff around…

Next time I do some traveling into a new area I’ll have to look up what markers might be around. They really help you discover things you just didn’t know was there.

Griffin has always been one of my favorite division (and later a corps) commanders. He went from captain commanding a battery at First Bull Run to a major general commanding the 5th Corps.

I always loved the photo of him and his staff taken during the Overland Campaign showing his rumpled and dirty uniform.

Griffin’s early death in 1867 at the hands of Yellow Fever was tragic, especially since a number of his young children also died during the epidemic. He is buried in Oak Hill Cemetery in Georgetown, Washington, DC — in the same vault as Samuel S. Carroll. Griffin married Carroll’s sister.

Since he’s one of your First Bull Run guys, I figured you’d know about him and perhaps even know about the marker.
