CSA Veterans Buried In Taylor County

This is a 'Work in Progress' page that will likely never be completed. Many of these grave sites have been lost but some are found in the course of every year. This list is far from complete because the CSA Vets buried in Trent, Merkel, Abilene Municipal and Elmwood Cemeteries have yet to be listed. After these have been inventoried, all will depend on the descendants and friends of the unidentified veterans to come forward with the names and locations of those that have been missed. There is no need to wait. If you know of a CSA Veteran, buried in Taylor County that does not appear on the list send an email.
