Civil War American National Cemeteries
The division fence, separating the National from "Evergreen Cemetery, " is of wrought iron
rails, supported by cast iron posts, securely imbedded. A substantial and ornamental iron fence, with ample gate-ways, fronts and completes the enclosure. Its pillars bear the names of all the participating States, with the National emblem conspicuously displayed. Immediately at the right of the entrance stands the gate-house, or keeper's lodge, built of stone, but in my judgment, inadequate to the purpose, t am happy to add, however, that at our recent annual meeting, such modification was directed as will secure a much, better adaptation.
Re-interment has been finished.
