Quartermaster General's Office General Orders, No. 71, Sept. 5, 1866
Roll of Honor
Names of Soldiers
WHO DIED IN DEFENSE OF THE AMERICAN UNION,
INTERRED IN MICHIGAN
Flung to the viewless winds,
Or on the waters cast,
Their ashes shall be watched,
And gathered at the last;
While from their scattered dust,
Around us, and abroad
Shall spring a precious seed
Of witnesses for God.
WASHINGTON: GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE.
1866
Volume No. 8
Microfilm of original published: Washington : Government Printing Office,
1865-1871. 27 v. At head of title (no. [I]-XX): Quarter- master general's
office, General orders ... No. 8. Arkansas, California, Indiana, Michigan,
Minnesota, and Nevada; and the Territories of Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, New
Mexico, and Washington.
Note: These records only contain people who died during the Civil War and were
buried in Michigan at that time. Many soldiers who died during the war were
buried in National Cemeteries through out the country. The only places contained
on this film source is Detroit (Wayne Co.) and Jackson (Jackson Co.). There are
errors in the spellings of many of the names and some errors in the regiment
area data in the government records. I have worked through each soldier one by
one to obtain the correct spelling and other information that may be available
from the regiment rosters, pensions if available, and other indexes. Cemetery
names were not included in the records. Click on the surname link for the extra
records and notes I have found so far.
