MEMBERS HAVE STATED THAT THE BURIAL INFORMATION DOES NOT MATCH BURIALS AT ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY.

The information stated in the Bio is from a family member of Joseph Beth. It was stated it was from a diary kept by one of his fellow soldiers.

Here is the information from a request
"He is not buried at Arlington National Cemetery. Maybe they intended to bury him there, or maybe at a different cemetery by the name of "Arlington", but records indicate he is not at the Arlington National Cemetery. And there is no such designation in the cemetery as "No. 72, Row 10, Sect. E, Block 10"."
