Mount Moriah Naval Plot aka Veterans Administration Plot is associated with the U.S. Naval Asylum. The Naval Hospitals Act of 1811, passed through Congress with the help of Secretary of the Navy Paul Hamilton, established the U.S. Naval Asylum in Philadelphia. Architect William Strickland designed the main building, which was completed in 1833. Originally used as a naval hospital, in 1838 midshipmen began taking classes at the asylum.
With the 1845 opening of the Naval Academy in Annapolis, the asylum ceased serving as a school. In 1864 the federal government purchased a 10-acre site in Mount Moriah Cemetery for the re-interment of remains within the plot on the grounds of the Naval Asylum. More than 2,400 navy officers and sailors have been buried in Mount Moriah Naval Plot since the first interment on March 26, 1865. This lot is bordered by a low fence of chain-and-bollards, and contains many very old, non-standard headstones, as well as a naval anchor on a concrete base.
The National Cemetery Administration has jurisdiction over this section of the cemetery as well as the Soldiers Lot. Overseen by Beverly National Cemetery (215) 504-5610.
Gilbert was born in Courtland, Kansas. He appears on the Kansas State Census for the year 1915 living in Republic, KS with E. A. and Laura Maudlin, no relationship is given. He then appears on the 1920 US Census, listed as grandson the Ed A. Maudlin. Also listed is Gilbert's great grandmother, Alma.
