Nell,
Occasionally, families made the trip to the battlefield and brought home the bodies of their family members. I have read several accounts of families making such a sad journey. There is also frequent mention in the records of some of the Union POW camps that a body was removed by family and taken home. My hunch is that ancestor is actually buried there.
