Military
2
In January 1878, Maria Custer and David Reed spent 100 dollars each to purchase the 40 gravesites here, and that same month the bodies of Boston Custer and Autie Reed arrived for burial from the Little Big Horn Battlefield. General Custer and his wife Elizabeth had no children and are buried at West Point Military Academy, while those laid to rest here are members of their family, including parents, siblings, nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, and related spouses from the Custer and Reed families.
