The bodies of two Civil War-era soldiers were re-buried Saturday in Raleigh.
Brothers Joel and Joseph Holleman died and were buried in 1862, but their remains were unearthed in Raleigh last month by development. Excavation near PNC Arena turned up the brothers' bones.
On Saturday morning, the two men rested under honor guard at the North Carolina Museum of History.
A horse-drawn artillery caisson bore them to Oakwood Cemetery where the North Carolina Division of Sons of Confederate Veterans buried them with a military and Masonic service.
