McMurray Crew to be Laid to Rest
I'm told the McMurray Crew 801 will be buried at Arlington in June of 2008. According to some of the family members, five of the men will have a personal burial at Arlington and there will be a mass funeral for the whole crew which will contain the remains from which DNA could not be extracted. We will post the details when we get them.
•
Leonard Ray of the McMurray Crew was buried separately on 5 Oct 2007 in a plot (with headstone) his family provided for him over 60 years ago at Mountain Cemetery in Falston, Maryland.
•
Robert Flood was buried on 6 Oct 2007 at a family plot near his hometown in Dry Run, Pennsylvania.
•
Hyman Stiglitz is scheduled to be buried in Dec of 2007 in Tucson, Arizona (burial did take place on 28 Dec 2007).
