Mark, My wife's family is from Moline, Illinois, which is one of the "Quad Cities" that includes Rock Island also. If I remember correctly, the cemetery is within the grounds of the Rock Island Arsenal. The arsenal is in operation and the cemetary has an office I believe. I am not sure about internet files, but you should be able to find the arsenal on an Army site or perhaps a site for the cemetary itself. When we stopped in the office I remember that they had a book available covering the history of the cemetary and prison with names listed. Good luck!
