26th Ohio Infantry Veterans' Burial Sites
"The neighing troop, the flashing blade, the bugle's stirring blast, the charge, the dreadful cannonade. The din and shout are past." Tablet at Chattanooga National Cemetery
As of February 2024, 489 burial sites have been located. There are perhaps many dozens that may never be positively identified as the soldier was buried in an unmarked grave, or Missing In Action, or the records are simply lost.
To locate the burial site of a soldier in this database: Just click on the appropriate sub-folder and scroll down. They are sorted by last name and the information includes: name, company, cemetery name, and the county and state where the soldier is buried.
​
A Memorial Markers Page is available to view. Over two hundred memorial markers are displayed.
The compilation of this data involved searching numerous cemetery and other records, as well as many fellow descendants provided information. Their contributions to the project has been invaluable. This database is continuously updated, and every effort has been made to assure accuracy.
