Shown below is the grave of Frances “Dolly” Harris Lesher and her husband. When Confederate troops were moving north through Greencastle in the middle of June 1863 during the Gettysburg campaign, they passed by the home of 17-year-old Dolly on Carlisle Street. Dolly ran into the street waving the American flag denouncing them as traitors, cut throats and plunderers. General George Picket at the head of the column tipped his hat to her and saluted, while the band played Dixie.

After the Battle of Antietam many of the wounded were transported to Chambersburg where they died in one of three temporary hospitals. Many are unknown and their graves are inscribed with the words- U.S. Soldier.
