Union Civil War Veteran Burials in Flathead County
To the right are two files of Civil War Union Veterans buried in Flathead County. Neither file is a complete listing of burials but obtained by viewing headstones in selected cemeteries. The Montana State Veterans Home Cemetery listing is the most complete. The Whitefish City Cemetery, the Demersville Cemetery, the Spring Creek Cemetery, the Trinity Lutheran Cemetery and the C E Conrad Memorial Cemetery has yet to be compiled. The documents are listed alphabetically by cemetery. The information was compiled by Lon D. Brown who has generously granted FVGS permission to publish it on our website.

The Information contained in the files may include the following if it was found: the name of the veteran, date of enlistment, date of discharge, unit of enlistment and unit of discharge. Where the veteran was residing when the the 1890 Veterans Schedule and and the 1900 Federal Census was taken. Death certificate number on file at the Department of Vital Statistics in Helena, if any. If the veteran received a civil war pension, the date of filing and certificate number for the pension and the name of the veteran's spouse. Also, if an * appears next to the spouse's name, than the spouse is also buried in the same cemetery as the veteran. Some listings may also contain the plot and lot location numbers for the veteran's burial. Please note that while all effort was made to verify the information, these records should only be considered a guide for locating Civil War records pertaining to your ancestor. We are also including links to the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War national burial database and to the National Park Service's Civil War Soldiers and Sailors database. There are two informative websites that discuss using Civil War pensions and records for genealogical purposes that we have provided links to. Under the Webinar's tab above in the military section there are several webinars pertaining to Civil War research, so make sure you take time to watch them as well.
