We subsequently visited an old cemetery just a bit out of Lincoln in Milford..We found my ggrandfather's stone in a line of about 30 other civil war (GAR) vets. His name was John McMannus, He had enlisted into service as a volunteer on Jan 20 1964 when he was 24 years old and married (to Julia Niblack) He was mustered out on the 23rd of Aug 1865 in PineBluff Ark. He subsequently according to record I have copies of petitioned the govt. for disability as he claimed he had dysentery which lasted for about 40 years...repeat 40 years...Anyway, from records it appears he spent his last years in the Old Soldiers and Sailors Home in Milford NE. I would think that if one could find the records of this Home, it might be a goldmine of info re Civil War Vets. Let me know if this is of any help to your research Regards Elaine Murphy --part1_81.15e98c68.2972736c_boundary Content-Type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit <HTML><FONT FACE=arial,helvetica><BODY BGCOLOR="#ffffff"><FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff" SIZE=2>Re your request for info on Nebraska Civil War Vets: I think that is what you are asking....My husband and I visited several cemeteries in the S.E. part of Nebraska last april as my mother was born in tobias.<BR> We subsequently visited an old cemetery just a bit out of Lincoln in Milford..We found my ggrandfather's stone in a line of about 30 other civil war (GAR) vets.
