From the April 12, 2014, Columbus (Ind) Republic, AP.
Confederate dead are buried at St. Matthews Episcopal Church Cemetery in Hillsborough, west of Raleigh.
The Alliance for Historical Hillsborough is hosting a graves tour, including that of a general's son killed on his first day as a member of the cavalry; sons of a tailor and governor who entered the war together. One survived the single bloodiest day in American history, Antietam. The other didn't.
There was also a rector who was too grief-stricken to officiate his son's funeral in the last days of the war.
