    Burials from the Florence Morning News

    A new national cemetery will be located at Fort Jackson, a sprawling Army base just east of downtown Columbia, officials said. The 600-acre cemetery will accommodate up to 25,000 graves and become the state's third federally run veterans cemetery, said William Tuerk, the Veterans Affairs' under secretary for memorial affairs. The Veterans Affairs Department plans to seek $20 million to build the cemetery, and burials could begin in 2008, officials have said. (The New York Times Published: November 11, 2006)
