Hello, all; Not sure if the information I have will help everyone, but we have done extensive research here in Osceola County Florida regarding Civil War Vets. It just happens there were many veterans of retirement age who came to the small town of St. Cloud, formed a Grand Army of the Republic Post in 1910, and stayed here the rest of their lives. We have a muster list of over 700 total over a period of some 30 years. Most of those veterans were buried right here in Mt. Peace Cemetery, but there were some who were shipped elsewhere to be buried in the family plot or a town gravesite where they had been when they entered service in the 1860's. As with all things -- their burial site may have been a matter of their choice. If it is at all possible to learn where he was residing at the time of death, make all efforts to get his death certificate, funeral record, obituary. One of those just might mention where the remains were to be buried. Of course, if the soldier died in battle or for other cause during the war service, there should be some record of a military cemetery burial through the VA or National Archives. And -- if you have a veteran ancestor who was entitled to a government headstone -- by all means contact the VA. It is still possible to get that military marker put on his grave - as long as you know where he's buried. Best wishes, Ann Bergelt Florida
