New Book Announcement: Civil War Veterans Buried In Stevens County, Washington
Our Civil War veterans may be gone, but they are certainly not forgotten! Roger May, a member of the Northeast Washington Genealogical Society, became interested in documenting all of the Civil War veterans buried in Stevens County as part of a project for another organization that he belongs to… Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War
This book is the culmination of over 2,000 hours of research on the part of Mr. May. He started off with a list of about 45 known veterans and it grew from there. The book now contains information on almost 300 veterans who are either buried in Stevens County or who lived there at one time and are buried elsewhere. Information generally includes the unit each served in and what part that unit had in the war. Every veteran’s tombstone that could be located was photographed.
Personal information was added when available. Old local records were transcribed, including the 1890 Special Census for Stevens County and the local G.A.R. (Grand Army of the Republic) minutes.
