SHARPSBURG, Md. —
The remains of four Union soldiers were reburied at the Antietam National Battlefield on Sunday, the 127th anniversary of an 1862 Civil War blood bath.
Relic seekers from Ohio discovered the remains of the front-line soldiers in March, 1988, and anthropologists and archeologists have been studying them.
The four soldiers were among more than 23,000 who were killed, wounded or missing after the Battle of Antietam.
