My mother's second husband was a cemetery caretaker, it had a civil was section, some of them were only 13 and 14 years old.

@NativePortlander1970 A lot of the stones were too weathered to read but I did notice quite a few children. Not many from the Civil War era.

@SageWanderer They were child soldiers that most likely passed as adults.
