Elizabeth Thorn

When the Civil War began, Elizabeth Möser Thorn’s husband, Peter, was the caretaker of Evergreen Cemetery. Upon his decision to enlist with the 138th Pennsylvania Infantry in 1862, Elizabeth, the mother of three boys, assumed his duties. The battle forced Thorn and her family to flee their home in the cemetery’s gatehouse, which was witness to hand-to-hand fighting on July 2. She returned to find her food and possessions stolen and dead bodies everywhere. In the weeks following the battle she dug nearly 100 graves with little compensation—while six months pregnant. When Elizabeth’s daughter was born, she named her Rose Meade Thorn, after the Army of the Potomac’s commander. The “Gettysburg Women’s Memorial,” a tribute to the local women who served and suffered due to the war, depicts Thorn leaning on a shovel as she rests from burying the dead.
