Reminiscences of the Civil War, William and Adelia Lyon

Mrs. Lyon’s Diary.

March 21, 1863.—The concert was grand. They varied the program by once in a while dancing a cotillion. The music was charming. We all enjoyed it immensely.

We found three rebel graves in our dooryard. The bodies were buried about six inches deep. They were buried as they retreated, we suppose. Poor fellows, it will never be known!
