The Soldiers
Information on many of the 350 Union soldiers buried as Rosehill is limited to what can be found on electronic databases or in regimental histories. Their monuments offer no symbols to be interpreted or detailed inscriptions to read. Their poignancy is a result of their quantity.
The four markers at right designate the final resting places of some of the first Union soldiers to be buried in Rosehill.
Brief biographical information, accessed in the Illinois State Archives: Civil War Detail Report, is included where available.
