Civil War 723 Men Went Off to Battle and 121 Died in Action or of DiseaseA number of years ago a committee of three men was appointed to compile a list of Buchanan county men who served during the Civil War. Named to the committee were E. M. Thompson, R. J. O'Brien and J. L. Cherny. This committee with the assistance of G. H. Jakway of Aurora and Job Burnes of Dubuque, compiled a complete list showing the names of county men who served with the Union Army during the Civil War. In this war 121 county men were either killed in action or died while in service. There were 60 of the men wounded; six of the men were listed as missing in action; and eight were taken prisoner by Southern forces. The causes of death were many. The majority of the men killed died on the battlefields while fighting the enemy forces. Others were taken prisoner and died and there were a number who suffered such diseases as jaundice, typhoid fever, smallpox, dysentery, diarrhea and pneumonia and subsequently died. One was killed in a railroad collision and there were several who died of accidental wounds or who died during furlough. Following is a list of the men from this county who died during the Civil War:
