Welcome:
I am the Harrison County Coordinator, my name is Martha
Please contact me with questions
I will be happy to answer them to the best of my ability.
I do not live in Missouri, so cannot do local 'on the ground' research.
However, I am an excellent online researcher and might be able to help
you locate that missing piece of your "Ancestral Pie"

Military Burials
during War time are difficult to track. I have discovered a booklet and a
film that details the process of moving Burials from various locations to
National Cemeteries.

of deceased Union soldiers and prisoners of war whose remains have been removed
to national cemeteries in the southern and western states"; v. 01-04 [Missouri =

Here is the FS Wiki which explains the records and their contents
The Works of Sherman Lee Pompey During the 1960's and 1970's, a
Gentleman named Sherman Lee Pompey did a lot of Military Research: Quite a
few of his works can be found in the FS Catalog: The focus of his research seems
to surround the Civil War along with the Cavalry and Infantry Troops who were
involved. There are a lot of Burial Records for those who fought and lost
their lives from one cause or another.
Here are three pages of Books that contain Military Information: The file is a
searchable & linked pdf. Use the Above Link to locate and download items
of interest. Log into your FS Account for access.

interest. "Master list of Missouri Civil War Veteran Burials" Note:
There are no Indexes: But, the format Mr Pompey used is consistent in that he
lists the Names from the 'Top Down' In other words, Officers [Rank] to
Non-Comissioned & Enlisted Men last.
