Brigadier General Richard L. Hoxie


Location:  Arlington National Cemetery, Arlington, Virginia

Brigadier General Hoxie was born on August 7, 1844 and died on April 29, 1930.  He joined the United States Army during the Civil War, and served as Chief of Army Engineers for a long time.  Also buried with him are Vinnie Ream, a famous sculptor who he was married to until she died in 1914, and Ruth Norcross who he was married to until he died.

I chose the grave because of the statue on top, I guess I have a thing for sad looking women.
