16th Pennsylvania Cavalry
Company D
161st Volunteers

Cram, John F. Private February 26, 1864 Killed at Milford Station, Va., May 21, 1864

Cannot find burial!!!!

And so we conclude; John was shot from his horse (as was Sergeant Samuel W. Sortore), approaching Milford Station. His Company D of the 16th PA Cavalry detachment (100 men including the 1st) was just then joining Torbert's Cavalry assembly. He was on the three mile section of road between Bowling Green and Milford Station. We conclude that the 16th did not dismount and position to fire the repeating rifles until the semicircular formation was formed on the road at Milford Station.
He was killed in an engagement with Confederate company's in the area; Confederate Lieutenant George Beale's Cavalry pickets or maybe Confederate Lieutenant John T. Stewart and the 9th Virginia Cavalry. Three companies of the 7th Va were posted in reserve at the bridge and the remainder went out with the 11th Va as skirmishers in front of the town; so that is also a possibility. The 1st Va were posted in the buildings in the town. It is the morning of May 21, 1864, as the cavalry assembled to screen for Hancock's approach to Milford Station, that John Fuller Cram, now in Company D, is killed in action at the Battle of Milford Station, Virginia.
According to the Casualty Sheet, it is less likely that he died in the engagement with the Confederate 1st Virginia Regiment troops, having been positioned around the town buildings of Milford. It would have occured on the three mile section of road between Bowling Green and Milford Station sometime after the 7:00 A.M. rest period at Bowling Green and before the 10:00 A.M. arrival of Tobert's Cavalry in Milford Station.
The location he was buried is still unknown but it is possible that he was buried in a trench at the site of the battle. From Nan Duffield's autobiography; "Ruth's husband, John Cram was killed in the Civil War and was buried in Arlington Cemetery." We did check with different Cemeteries in 2008-13 and find that there is no record of him. From Steven's internet blog; "Most soldiers who died in the area (Camp Stoneman) from 1861 - 1864 were buried either in Alexander, or on the grounds of the old soldiers home. From 1864 on, soldiers started to be buried at Arlington." So we have no closure.

The death Certificate was signed and confirmed by F. S. Meoyru, Surgeon of the 16th PA Cavalry, on July 23, 1864. In it he states that "this man was killed in an engagement near Milford Station before he joined his regiment".

Thank you for any clue to burial records.
