Black soldiers buried separately at Antietam
Officials seek information
SHARPSBURG (AP) — Eight black soldiers who served in the two World Wars are buried in the back corner of the Antietam National Cemetery, separated from their white contemporaries because of segregation.
A few names are barely legible on the weathered headstones: Pfc. Howard S. Puller of West Virginia; Sgt. Littleton Goens of Maryland; Lee I. Lavender, a cook.
