You might like to know that one of the prisoners of Andersonville, is buried at Mt. View Cemetery, in Oakland. He his last name is Lemmon, and with his wife Sara Gill, who were both botanist, travel all over the west. But one interesting point of information, was she was the woman, who pushed to have the Golden Poppy, name the state flower of California.

Will get his first name this Monday, for right now cannot remember it. ;-)

Hey gang,
Just a short reminder to the vets and newbies at this site of my free
research for the asking here at Andersonville Civil War Prisoner of War
site. There are more than 41000 Union soldiers on record from all
states, and 4518 are from Illinois.
Please email me directly at with request so we dont tie
up the county site.
