On Sunday August the 9th I was honored to take place in the reburial of a Confederate soldier. The man "John May Hamilton" had been killed 145 years ago. After almost 20 years of searching his descendants finally located his body, had the remains exhumed and returned to his family cemetery for burial. I was very honored to be able to perform chaplain duties at his reburial. The heat that day was in the upper 90's and we marched about 3/4 of a mile to the cemetery in our wool reenactor uniforms. I don't know when I have been more dehydrated but I made it even though some of our younger members had to drop out.
