I wrote about Philadelphia's West Laurel Hill Cemetery earlier. That cemetery is a part of the larger Laurel Hill Cemetery in that city.
According to Wikipedia, hundreds of era persons are buried there, along with 40 Civil War-era generals.
HENRY K. BIDDLE (1841-1912)-- Union Army officer and Medal of Honor recipient. Forwarded personal effects of mortally wounded Confederate General Armistead to his old friend, Union Gen. Winfield Scott Hancock.
ULRIC DAHLGREN (1842-1864)-- One of leaders of famed 1864 attack on Richmond and son of Union Naval Admiral John A. Dahlgren. His father is also buried there.
SAMUEL GIBBS FRENCH (1818-1910)-- Confederate general. Buried in Florida but family has a cenotaph on family plot.
GEORGE GORDON MEADE (1815-1872)-- Hero of Gettysburg.
JOHN C. PEMBERTON (1814-1881)-- Confederate General who surrendered Vicksburg.
Kind of interesting to have two Confederate generals remembered in the cemetery.
