Norman County Minnesota Civil War Veterans

There were 87 veterans of the War of The Rebellion that lived in Norman County. Some were here for a brief period and moved on while others remained for the rest of their lives. While most are from the states of Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Iowa some were from eastern states such as Maine, New York, Vermont, and Illinois.

The names were gathered from the 1890 Eleventh Census of the United States, Special Schedule, Surviving Soldiers, Sailors, Marines and Widows of the war of the Rebellion; Norman County, Minnesota, Pensioners on the Roll; Under Prairie Skies by Lenora Johnson; Articles from local news papers and obituaries from local newspapers.

An effort was made to verify that the veterans named had actually served during the Civil War and in most cases it was successful. However, there are some instances where no Regiment, Company, or State were mentioned. This is especially true of the G.A.R records. The sites used to verify the veterans service connection came from "The National Parks Service, Civil War Soldiers ad Sailors System and Wisconsin Historical Society, Roster of Wisconsin Volunteers, War of the Rebellion, 1861 - 1865.

If you have information on any of the listed veterans or if you have inquiries, please let me know.
