N.C. Confederates Buried at Arlington Nat. Cemetery-- Part 20

URIAH RASH, private Co. H, 44th N.C..  No further information.

OBED REEP, private Co. K, 23rd N.C..  resided in Lincoln County.  Enlisted Iredell County at age 22 August 20, 1862, for war.

Present or accounted for until captured at Mine Run, Va., on Nov. 28, 1863.  Confined at Old Capitol Prison.  Died in Washington, D.C. hospital on Feb. 2, 1864, of "phthisis pulmonialis."

Getting sent to the Old Capitol Prison seemed to be tantamount to a death sentence.
