Special Meeting of Antietam Cemetery Board
Summary
At a recent meeting of the Antietam Cemetery Board, President Dr. Augustine A. Biggs reported the status of foundation walls and grading of the cemetery, and that the work was suspended until spring due to the weather and because the $7,000 appropriated by Maryland was nearly exhausted. It was agreed to seek an additional $8,000 from the legislature, as well as appropriations from other states.
