May 13, 1864
The crew of the Space Shuttle Challenger are buried at various locations. Some are buried at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia, while others are buried in private cemeteries according to their families' wishes.
the oldest grave in the AN cemetery is a grave that was built in 1763. The grave belongs to Jacqueline Harris. Jacqueline Harris was a young lady who died of kidney failure. She lived out a life of seventeen years. You can find her family graves at that same cemetery too. My granny told me that her great-grandmother was friends with Jacqueline, and is proud that she is the oldest grave in the AN cemetery.

Formerly, it was separated by race and military ranking. This could be seen in the size of grave markings and also in the placement of them. Now it is not so. In the newer segments of Arlington Cemetery all grave stones are the same size. Gravestones are not arranged by ranking either, meaning a private could be buried next to a general.
Yes,the confiscation of a private estate by the U.S. gov't. Arlington was the private residence of Robert E. Lee and his wife. The Federal Army occupied the property and Lee's son had to sue the U.S. gov't. after the war and was granted payment for the property which was being used as a cemetery.
That is an ongoing debate. There are 2 possible answers. One was US Navy, and also the first to be interred at Arlington Nat'l Cemetery. The other was Army. He too is buried at Arlington.
after the Civil war they needed a place to bury the dead
