"No burial records exist for the 42 Union soldier deaths reported on the records, June-Sep 1861, from the General Hospital (Courthouse) in Springfield,MO. Most of those deaths occurred on or after the Battle of Wilson's Creek, 10 Aug 1861. The Union forces were defeated and pulled back to Rolla. Since Southwest Missouri remained under Confederate control until February, 1862, … these men were probably buried in unmarked graves in the old cemetery 800 yards Northeast of the Courthouse. Exhumation and reinterment records for the National Cemetery at Springfield indicate that only seven of the 118 graves at that site were identified. Most of the unknowns from that cemetery were reinterred in sections 2, 3 and 4 at Springfield National Cemetery."
