Lost Gravesite of Civil War Hero Found
While a number of people have searched for years for the grave of Raynham Civil War soldier Frederick C. Anderson, a Pawtucket, R.I., man found it in just six months. Anderson was a farmer who received the Medal of Honor after heroically capturing an enemy battle flag and its bearer in 1864.For years, history buffs were unable to locate his grave, which was believed to be in Somerville. But last week it was uncovered in Dighton, thanks to Charles Mogayzel, an 80-year-old Korean War veteran.

Now that's an Ultimate Genealogical search, well done Mr. Anderson !!
What's your trick??
Wow, that was great!!! Wish i could find my ggggrandfather. I have been searching since 1995. William Mack
passed just 11 days after entering the civil war. What were your secret manuvers or how did you find him? Am
willing to try, but i live in MN and he is in IL. Am getting up in years also. My daughter was working along
with me but i lost her in 2009. Sad, sad days. You done a great job.
Viola.
