The Last Union Veteran Project

The Last Union Veteran Project
This page was last edited on 10/15/2023

Beginning in 2003, the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War (SUVCW) embarked on the Last Union Veteran Project. The purpose of the project is to locate and appropriately mark the final resting place of the last Civil War union veteran buried in each county/parish and in each state of this great country.

The Last Union Veteran project is funded, in part, by the SUVCW’s Monuments and Memorials Grant Fund and also by obtaining contributions of the citizens, local veteran organizations and governmental agencies.  For more information, please visit the SUVCW Last Union Veteran page.

PLEASE HELP!!  The Department of Indiana, SUVCW is currently seeking information on any Civil War union veteran who may have been the last union veteran buried in any of the 92 counties in Indiana.  If you know of or suspect a soldier who might have been the last burial in a particular county, please send an e-mail to the SUVCW Department of Indiana.  Also, if you think we have a wrong soldier listed, please let us know. We will be listing on this web page all known or suspected Last Soldiers from each county, as we receive the information.
