Civil War soldier who died in Northern Virginia is finally laid to rest

This article was written by InsideNoVa's news partner, WTOP , and republished with permission. Sign up for WTOP's breaking news, traffic and weather alerts as well as daily emails. A Civil War soldier who died more than 160 years ago in Prince William County has been given a final resting place. He was laid to rest with full military funeral honors at Arlington National Cemetery on Nov. 4. “We gather to honor an unknown soldier whose life story is not fully known to history, yet whose sacrifice is fully worthy of the nation’s gratitude,” Chaplain Capt. Phil Morlock said while leading the ceremony. “We know that he answered a call greater than himself. We know that he stood in a time when the nation was tested by fire.” In March 2024, archaeologists discovered the soldier’s remains at Manassas National Battlefield Park at the site of a Civil War field hospital. His identity is unknown, but forensic analysis shows he was around 16 to 19 years old. The Union infantryman died during the Second Battle of Manassas in 1862. “As I watched that ceremony today, I felt it very hard not to cry,” said David Duncan, president of the American Battlefield

He cleared it away and read about how, on May 9, 1767, the Caroline Friends issued a call to their fellow Quakers to end the practice of owning slaves.

Around Prince William: What will Prince William look like in 2032?

I recently came across a video on social media depicting a futuristic intersection on Minnieville Road in Woodbridge. It featured wide highways, sweeping curves, pedestrian walkways, modern buildings, and plenty of automobiles. The caption explained that this engineering marvel would open in 2032. What will Prince William County really look like in 2032, and will we need all those roads? For decades, Prince William’s growth has been driven by a relatively simple economic formula. The federal government hires people. Defense contractors and other businesses hire people to support the government. Those employees buy houses, automobiles, groceries, restaurant meals and just about everything else. We build roads to accommodate them, schools to educate their children and shopping centers to collect their money. It’s been a pretty good arrangement. But what happens when artificial intelligence begins replacing the people who make that arrangement work? Thousands of employees spend their days processing paperwork, reviewing contracts, analyzing information, preparing reports and administering programs. Much of that work is increasingly within AI’s capabilities. The same applies to government contractors. Companies employing hundreds of analysts, programmers, accountants, administrative personnel and support staff may discover they can accomplish the same work with considerably fewer employees. I’m not
