At the end of the war there were 115 Union soldiers buried here, these soldiers were from 8 different states. By orders from Washington, D.

Around the year 1888, the Tompkinsville National Cemetery became a public cemetery. No longer a national military cemetery, the locals still referred to the cemetery as "the Old Soldiers Cemetery."
