There are, however, countless unmarked graves, mostly those of Union soldiers who died in Huntsville during occupation in the Civil War. These soldiers are believed to be buried throughout Section 1. By 19 November 1862, 180 Union soldiers had been buried here but only the names of those interred during the month of August, 1862 have been determined through research. The list was compiled by J. R. Goodwin, Assistant Surgeon of the 37th Indiana Regiment and appeared in the Cincinnati Daily Gazette of 19 November 1862.
