Per www.missourinet.com/2014/07/28/mass-grave-dedicated-from-civil-war-battle-of-moores-mill: Today, July 28, 1862, the Civil War Battle of Moore's Mill was fought near the Central Missouri town of Calwood. Some of the dead Union and Confederate soldiers were buried in a mass grave near the site of the battle.
After the Union victory, U.S. General Oden Guitar ordered the mass grave at the site after the battle. The grave was unmarked until it was discovered in April, 2013 by local historians using sonar equipment.
