Thatcher’s mutilated body was returned by rail to Bangor, Maine for burial using funds from his own estate, which he provided for prior to leaving to serve. A gold pocket watch believed to be Thatcher’s was also sent to the family, which returned it after confirming that the watch did not belong to the Lieutenant. Thatcher is buried in the family plot in Mt. Hope Cemetery, located directly across from the Superintendent’s house.
