For those not familiar with this last disease it was noted that he:

- had loose (lax) joints (based on written descriptions)

Bodies at Gettysburg were removed how?
Many of the slain at the Battle of Gettysburg were buried where they laid or in improvised mass graves by details of the Army of the Potomac and later by the townspeople of the city of Gettysburg. It was high summer (July of 1863) and the dead had to be buried (and thousands of horse and mule carcasses burned) in order to stave off disease. In the fall of 1863 they were re-interned into a military cemetary, and it was the dedication of that Cemetary (on Von Steinwehr drive in present day Gettysburg) that provided the occasion for the Gettysburg Address. Many unmarked graves were missed and for the next 40 years, until the early 20th century, bodies were re-interned into the various cemetaries throughout the National Military Park. As late as 2006 skeletal remains were still being found in overgrown parts of the park.
