Congress establishes Mount Olivet Cemetery in Salt Lake City as only civilian cemetery ever created by federal government. Although some civilians are buried in Washington, D.C.'s Arlington Cemetery, it is military cemetery. Congressmen do not trust Mormons to give proper respect to graves of non-Mormons.
The correct year for this should be 1874 (NOT 1974). See DMQ-2, MH:EP, Appendix 5, pp.769-70.
