Can anyone help with this family? Does anyone know where Catherine Miller McGinnis is buried? She doesn't seem to be buried in McArthur Cemetery with her husband. Did she remarry after his death in May of 1864? It must have been a very difficult time for the family, 1861-1864, with the father and two oldest brothers away in Co. A of the 82nd O.V.I.

Any help that you can give me will be appreciated.
