About This Resource:
Staunton National Cemetery is located on Richmond Road (Route 250) approximately
1 mile east of the Route 81 interchange (Exit 225). The cemetery itself is not very large and is surrounded by
a stone wall. There is a small caretakers house located to the right of the entrance and the driveway entrance
is not very long as well. Mostly Union soldiers from the Civil War are interred here. There are a few veterans
from later wars interred as well. The condition is immaculate, as all National cemeteries that I have visited.
Additionally, there are quite a number of unknown soldiers that are buried here as well.
The cemetery was read and imaged in September 2003. The database and
associated images are the copyrighted work of William E. Wilson, Jr. who generously supplied them to the Allen
County Public Library for distribution to individual genealogical researchers.
About Searching This Resource:
The database doesn't store the surname separately from the first name,
so you'll have to enter your search like this:
The search engine will try to be as flexible as possible. Therefore, if Use Fuzzy Search is
set to Yes (which it is by default), the search engine will
match partial names. If you search for Smith, the engine will find
anything that has Smith in it. It would find Smith, Adam, Smithson, Ted, etc.
If you set Use Fuzzy Search to No, then searching for Smith, Adam will
only find entries whose name is exactly Smith, Adam. It will not find Smith, Adam T.
Please use the fields below to refine your search. Note that while none of
the fields are mandatory, you'll get better results if you refine your search.
Also, to keep the system running smoothly, the search will return a maximum of
1000 items.
