Mississippi River National Cemetery
Current name   Memphis National Cemetery

Union Soldiers from the state of Illinois.

WBTS 1861-1866

 

 

Memphis National cemetery began as a place to inter soldiers stationed in the Memphis District during the WBTS who died in Memphis hospitals and in the Delta region.  Memphis had many hospitals/infirmaries.  Men from the surrounding area were brought to Memphis for treatment on hospital boats.  Some died on the hospital boats and were buried in this cemetery.  Many others died in General hospital from diseases and they are buried here. In 1863 a measles epidemic killed citizens and soldiers alike, and account for a large number of Union dead. In 1867 many soldiers were disinterred and brought to Mississippi River Cemetery and buried.
