Came across this article while doing some research on Civil War veterans from my hometown.

What's amazing, is the fact that the house Capt. Burke lived and died in is right around the corner from my parent's house. I used to walk past it everyday on my walks to and from school.

It just goes to show that history is everywhere, just need to know where to look.
