This was two months after Capt. Nutting died July 9. He was buried in Brookside Cemetery, Bridgewater, N.S. after spending his final years with oldest daughter, Grace, a Bridgewater resident.

I decided to research Capt. Nutting a year ago. An internet search showed a group of Canadian reenactors called the Maritime Civil War Living History Association and representing the 20th Maine Regiment was looking for graves of CW veterans buried in Canada. He is one of three MOH winners buried in Nova Scotia. The MOH Society found his grave and installed a plaque in a 1990 ceremony. But no family was present. That was a shame.

Corresponding with regiment president Terry Middleton of Pisquamsis, New Brunswick, I learned his group wanted to conduct graveside ceremonies for CW vets in Nova Scotia during the summer of 2006.
