Civil War Honor Roll

Somerset County, PA was not directly in the line of fire during the Civil War but many of her sons valiantly served and died at Appomattax, Gettysburg, Antietam, and the Wilderness during one of our nations greatest internal conflicts. For an overview of the war and Somerset County's involvement, see "History of Bedford and Somerset Counties, Pennsylvania, Vol II, pp. 325-331, by William A. Welfley".

The names that follow are taken from the November 1961 issue of the "Laurel Messenger". This list is only covers killed, wounded and missing in action -- it does not account for everyone who served from Somerset County.

(Note: This information is from the monument erected in Somerset County. It has many misspellings and many soldiers names are missing from the panels.)

Commemoration of the Dead

In March of 1888, a funding committee was set up by R. P. Cummins Post No. 210, GAR, to secure the funds necessary to erect a monument to honor Somerset County's Civil War Veterans. The inscription on the statue reads, "To the Pepetual Memory of the Defenders of the Union. 1861-1865. Erected September 17, 1888, by the surviving soldiers and citizens of Somerset County."
