St. Anne’s Cemetery in Philadelphia includes 53 veterans of the American Civil War. The St. Anne Historical Committee helped to identify 38 of the veterans recently. Last month the parish, located in the Port Richmond section of Philadelphia, held a ceremony where wreaths were laid to honor the soldiers.  The ceremony concluded with “Taps,” bagpipers playing “Amazing Grace,” three bells tolled and a gun salute.
