Ohio cavalry trooper finally laid to rest after cremains were unclaimed

Descendants of the 4^th Ohio Cavalry conducted a burial service for a Civil War veteran whose cremated remains were unclaimed after he died in 1904. Alfred Jost, a native of Germany, served with the unit for two years until 1863, when he received a disability discharge. He apparently became a barkeeper in Cincinnati. The service was held May 21 in a Cincinnati suburb. -- Article
