national cemetery administration Medal of Honor recipient Joseph B. Noil honored

Saint Elizabeth’s East Campus Cemetery has a brand new headstone. It marks the burial spot of Medal of Honor recipient Joseph B. Noil, who was awarded the medal in 1873 for jumping into icy water at Norfolk Harbor to save a shipmate that had fallen overboard the USS Powhatten.

When Noil was buried in 1882, he was buried under a headstone that misidentified him as “Joseph B. Noel,” with no acknowledgement of his award.
