Hi Joyce, Firstly, I want to say how much I appreciate the resource of your website and how much time and effort you have put into it.  It has enriched my research in the area tremendously and is always one of the first places I turn when I come up with a new research question or puzzle.
Secondly, I am writing today regarding a specific entry on this cemetery page: http://www.joycetice.com/cemc/oldbrees.htm .  Here is the entry in question:
Breese Sylvester Fletcher   Dec 21, 1864 19 yr 5 mo son of Charles P. & Elizabeth, Co E. 50th Regt. Died at Gettyburg
I have seen the last factoid on several websites, but it is incorrect.  I have a copy of Sylvester Fletcher Brees(e)'s compiled military file.  He had not even enlisted yet when Gettysburg was fought.  Gettysburg was in 1863 and he volunteered in 1864.  The death papers in his file say he died of "typhoid pneumonia" in Virginia.  Sadly, he died shortly after enlisting.
Thanks again for all your hard work for the genealogy community,
Liz Loveland
