I was there to find Moses P. Bigelow who once served in the 3rd Michigan Infantry but was discharged in 1862 for "insanity." He eventually returned to Michigan and reentered the army in the 17th Michigan Cavalry and die of lung disease in 1864 at a hospital in Louisville.<div><br /></div><div>The cemetery -- not the national part -- is also the final resting place of Muhammed Ali.<br />
