Soon after, Jackson died of pneumonia, and his body was sent to his family in Lexington, Va.<br /><br />But, Young says, Jackson's arm was never reunited with the rest of his remains.<br /><br />"When Mrs. Jackson is informed that the arm was amputated <b>and given a full Christian burial</b>," Young says, "they will ask her if she wants it exhumed and buried with the general. She will decline, not wishing to disturb a Christian burial."
