Old Tom... the horse taken to war and ridden by Maj. George Savage. When Old Tom died, he was buried outside the boundary of the cemetery, since animals were not permitted to buried in the cemetery. But as the cemetery grew over the decades and expanded its perimeter, Old Tom's grave ended up in just about the middle of it.
