Notice of Intended Disinterment
AGENCY: Department of the Army, DoD.
ACTION: Notice of intended disinterment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Army National Military Cemeteries (ANMC) is honoring the
requests of six families to disinter the human remains of six Native
American students from the Carlisle Barracks Post Cemetery, Carlisle,
Pennsylvania. The decedent names are Ophelia Powless (aka Ophelia
Powias), Sophia Caulon (aka Sophy Coulon), Jamima Metoxen (aka Jemima
Meloxen), Henry Jones, Alice Springer, and Adam McCarty (aka Adam
McCarthy). These students died in the 1880s and 1890s while attending
the Carlisle Indian Industrial School. At the request of the closest
living relative for each decedent, ANMC will disinter, transfer
custody, transport, and reinter the remains in private cemeteries
chosen by the families. This disinterment will be conducted in
accordance with Army Regulation 210-190. This is not a Native American
Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) action because the
remains are not part of a collection as they are interred in graves
that are individually marked at the Carlisle Barracks Post Cemetery.
DATES: The disinterment is scheduled to begin on June 15, 2019.
Transportation to and re-interment in private cemeteries will take
place as soon as practical after the disinterment. If other living
relatives object to the disinterment of these remains, please provide
written objection to Mr. Thomas Mullen at the email address listed
below prior to June 7, 2019. Such objections may delay the disinterment
for the decedent in question.
ADDRESSES: Objections from family members and public comments can be
mailed to Mr. Thomas Mullen, ANMC Project Manager, 1 Memorial Avenue,
Arlington National Cemetery, Arlington, VA 22211 or emailed to
[email protected] (preferred).
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Thomas Mullen, ANMC Project
Manager at (703) 614-6315, or the email address listed above.

Americans buried at the Carlisle Barracks Post Cemetery can be found at
