I realize this is technially off-topic, but there is no Massachusetts board and I wanted to ge the widest exposure.

Attempting to identify burial location.

While conducting research on Confederate soldiers buried in Rockingham County, Virginia, I discovered a newspaper article which listed Ervil L. Smith, Corporal, Company H, 2nd Massachusetts Infantry, being buried in Woodbine Cemetery, Harrisonburg, VA.

After the War, beginning in 1866, Federal soldiers disinterred their men in the Shenandoah Valley and moved them to various national cemeteries. Most of the Yankees buried in Woodbine, listed with Smith, are now in Staunton Military Cemetery. However, Smith is not listed there; nor is he listed in the national registry.

If anyone has information concerning Corporal Ervil L. Smith, Co. H, 2nd Mass. Inf., it would be greatly appreciated.

If this man still lies in an unmarked grave in Woodbine Cemetery, Harrisonburg, I want to make sure he gets a Veterans Administation marker.

If he is buried somewhere else, I can mark him off my list.

Thanks.
