> Hi Folks,
> I live in the area of Bardstown, Nelson County, KY, and subscribe to the
Nelson County mailing list to help people searching in this area. Several
months ago, someone on the list was searching for a Confederate ancestor who
died in Bardstown during the Civil War. Today I went to a local cemetery and
found several names of Confederate soldiers listed for your States (message
being sent to several mailing lists).
>
> A monument has existed here for many years in the Bardstown Cemetery for
sixty-seven Confederate soldiers buried there who died in the area,
sixty-six in 1862 and one in 1863. Recently, smaller headstones were placed
in the burial area for those identified. Seventeen soldiers still remain
unknown. After stopping at the cemetery today for the headstone listings, I
did a very quick search at the library and found that General Bragg's army
fought several battles in the area of Bardstown in 1862 against General
Buell's Union forces. During September and October, 1862, several battles
were fought around Bardstown. The majority of those listed at the cemetery
died during this period. Please remember that this was a quick search.
Please also remember that many Confederate soldiers are buried in other
areas of Nelson County.
>
> The main monument reads as follows (no date of dedication listed):
> "This monument is erected in the memory of the 67 brave men buried here,
who lost their lives in the service of the Confederate Government.
>
> Lord God of Hosts be with us yet,
> Lest we forget,
> Lest we forget
>
> Marble tells not of their valors' worth,
> Nameless they rest in the earth
>
> We care not whence they came,
> Dear in their lifeless clay,
> Whether unknown or known to fame,
> Their cause and country still the same,
> They died and wore the gray.
>
> The headstones are placed around the main monument in order of death. For
the listing below, I've sorted them by surname. The information shows
surname, given name, company, unit (with State), CSA, and date of death.
Hope this helps someone. I'll be unsubscribing to the mailing list(s) once I
post this since I'm not searching in your State(s). The Nelson County
Library may be of help if any of the names are your ancestors:
