Poplar Grove National Cemetery is the final resting place for 6,291 individuals. We know the names of just over 2,200 of them. Below is a listing of all the known burials.

To simplify the search process, we are organizing names into smaller sections by soldiers' last names. The names are listed as they appear in the 1869 National Cemetery ledger. Some names appear with different spellings in the 1875 burial ledger and on the headstones.

We are currently researching the known soldiers. Variations or clarifications are identified through cross-referencing records. Any updates will be added to the "Research Notes" column to ensure accuracy and transparency.

The full dataset is available at the bottom of the page.
