"You faithful herald's blazon'd stone
With mournful pride shall tell,
When many a vanished age hath flown,
The story how ye fell;
Nor wreck, nor change, nor Winter's blight,
Nor Time's remorseless doom
Shall mar one ray of Glory's light
That gilds your deathless tomb."

M.C. Meigs,
Quartermaster General, Brevet Major General U.S. A.NATIONAL CEMETERY, JEFFERSON BARRACKS, MO
This Cemetery is situated on the Jefferson Barracks Reservation, ten miles south of St. Louis, Mo., and 704 feet west of the Mississippi River, and contains 20 1/2 acres of land, which is high and rolling, presenting a very beautiful appearance, and is in every respect admirably adapted to the purposes of a National Cemetery.
It is laid out in sections, intersected by walks and avenues, and is inclosed with a substantial picket fence.
The remains of the deceased Union soldiers interred here were principally from Macon City, Patterson and vicinity, Greenville, Bloomfield, Huntsville, Jefferson City, Mo., and from the Wesleyan and Christ Church Cemeteries, St. Louis, most of whom died in hospitals at St. Louis Mo.
Head-boards, properly inscribed are being erected and other improvements made to render this Cemetery still more attractive.
There are interred in this Cemetery the remains of 10,217 deceased Union soldiers, of which about 7,000 are known and the balance unknown. This Roll of Honor, however, contains the names of only 6,134 that have been identified, and the location of 2,402 unknown that have not been identified, making a total of 8,536. The others will be published in subsequent volumes of Roll of Honor.
