Some Family History
Julius Garesché was made chief of staff to General William Starke Rosecrans, commander of the Army of the Cumberland. He served in this capacity until his death on Dec. 31, 1862, when he was beheaded by a cannon ball at the battle of Stones River, Murfreesboro, Tenn.. Initially buried on the battlefield, Julius's remains were later moved by his brother Alexander to Mt. Olivet Cemetery in Washington, D.C. The Society of St. Vincent de Paul, which Julius had helped found, met with the Georgetown College Philodemic Society and resolved in Jan. 1863 to erect a monument over his tomb at Mt. Olivet. Julius Garesché had married Mariquitta de Laureal in 1849. They had eight children, only four of whom (Marie, Octavie (later Sister Augustine of the Holy Face), Louis, and Adele (later Sister Francis Joseph)) survived past infancy. Mariquitta died in St. Louis on Feb. 16, 1871. She was buried in Calvary Cemetery, but her remains were later moved by Louis Garesché to Mt. Olivet, where she lies beside her husband and two of her children, Edgar and Laureal.
