Recent Canvas of Glenwood Cemetery Shows - Over One Hundred Veterans Lie Buried There

By the aid of the flag placing committee, a number of other comrades and the accommodating section of the Glenwood cemetery, The Tribune man on Tuesday secured the names of most of the veterans who sleep beneath the sod of our God's Acre. No record of the names of those who have been buried has been kept. When the list is completed, which we hope to have done in the near future, those interested can preserve it.

If any reader of this list knows of a name or names omitted, they will confer a kindness by furnishing those names to the Tribune. There are at least four graves unmarked, save by a flag, but the names of those who rest there could not be ascertained from those present on Tuesday. We give at this time no other facts than the names of the dead. The first soldier buried in the Glenwood Cemetery was Abner Kerney and his burial was in 1863. Besides the Civil War veterans, there are two Spanish War veterans, two registered army nurses, and one Confederate soldier whose name we did not learn. We give the names of nurses and the Spanish War veterans also.
