The Grave of my Great-Great Grandfather William Reimert. He fought with the 46th Pennsylvania of the 12th and 20th Corp during the Civil War. Without him I may have never become interested in studying the Battle of Gettysburg and the Civil War. Also buried here is his second wife and my Great-Great Grandmother Clarrissa Reimert.
