Both were Confederate soldiers and were buried in West Raleigh.  Because the West Raleigh area is slated for development, on Saturday the Holleman brothers were reburied in Oakwood Cemetery with full Confederate and Masonic honors.<\/p>\n<p>The two brothers were Joel, who worked in a confederate hospital and Joseph, who was with the famous 26 Regiment commanded by Zebulon Vance. They were accompanied  to Oakwood Cemetery for reburial by Confederate re-enactors, mourning ladies in black,  a three-gun salute and many Raleigh residents, who wanted to pay their respects to the brothers and to watch Raleigh history in action.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 50%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-11212 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/theraleighcommons.org\/raleighpublicrecord\/featured\/2012\/04\/15\/confederate-soldiers-reburied\/attachment\/confed1\/'><img width=\"140\" height=\"140\" src=\"https:\/\/theraleighcommons.org\/raleighpublicrecord\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/confed1-140x140.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-11213\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theraleighcommons.org\/raleighpublicrecord\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/confed1-140x140.jpg 140w, https:\/\/theraleighcommons.org\/raleighpublicrecord\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/confed1-60x60.jpg 60w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 140px) 100vw, 140px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-11213'>\n\t\t\t\tOne man&#8217;s casket is carried to the new burial site in Oakwood Cemetery.\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/theraleighcommons.org\/raleighpublicrecord\/featured\/2012\/04\/15\/confederate-soldiers-reburied\/attachment\/confed2\/'><img width=\"140\" height=\"140\" src=\"https:\/\/theraleighcommons.org\/raleighpublicrecord\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/confed2-140x140.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-11214\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theraleighcommons.org\/raleighpublicrecord\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/confed2-140x140.jpg 140w, https:\/\/theraleighcommons.org\/raleighpublicrecord\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/confed2-60x60.jpg 60w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 140px) 100vw, 140px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-11214'>\n\t\t\t\tConfederate soldier re-enactors bow their heads during a prayer.\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/theraleighcommons.org\/raleighpublicrecord\/featured\/2012\/04\/15\/confederate-soldiers-reburied\/attachment\/confed3\/'><img width=\"140\" height=\"140\" src=\"https:\/\/theraleighcommons.org\/raleighpublicrecord\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/confed3-140x140.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-11215\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theraleighcommons.org\/raleighpublicrecord\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/confed3-140x140.jpg 140w, https:\/\/theraleighcommons.org\/raleighpublicrecord\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/confed3-60x60.jpg 60w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 140px) 100vw, 140px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-11215'>\n\t\t\t\tAuthentic uniforms and glasses are worn by the re-enactors.\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/theraleighcommons.org\/raleighpublicrecord\/featured\/2012\/04\/15\/confederate-soldiers-reburied\/attachment\/confed4\/'><img width=\"140\" height=\"140\" src=\"https:\/\/theraleighcommons.org\/raleighpublicrecord\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/confed4-140x140.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-11216\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theraleighcommons.org\/raleighpublicrecord\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/confed4-140x140.jpg 140w, https:\/\/theraleighcommons.org\/raleighpublicrecord\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/confed4-60x60.jpg 60w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 140px) 100vw, 140px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-11216'>\n\t\t\t\tDuring the ceremony C.J.
