Folks,

We are looking for information about Illinois soldiers who are buried in unmarked graves near Lebanon, Missouri. Below are some related messages. Does anyone know what regiments might have been in the area between Rolla and Springfield, Missouri, at that time (Nov 1864)? This is slightly AFTER Price's last campaign.

Hello: Could some kind hearted person see if they can find any info about a
civil war battle at Lebanon Mo. We have a cemetery here with 21 union
soldiers buried in it with no names on the stones. They were from the
Illinois Inf. Any ideas or suggestions. Thank You Jim Mills

During the Civil War, Lebanon was continually occupied, usually by Union troops trying to protect the telegraph line. Sentiment for and against both sides ran strong in a town populated by people from border states. Sometimes the divisions even split up families.
