A soldier, who probably died more than 140 years ago, was finally laid to rest with a full honor guard of veterans on Friday. The unidentified man’s remains were found by a fisherman last summer near Leadville. Buttons and a small piece of cloth were used to determine that he was most likely a soldier during the Civil War period.
