In Death Not Divided Tombstone Survey & Burial Places of East Tennessee Civil War Veterans

A Regional project of the East Tennessee Historical Society in partnership with affiliate and local societies

In commemoration of the Civil War Sesquicentennial, the East Tennessee Historical Society is sponsoring a project to identify the burial places of East Tennessee Civil War soldiers, as well as any Civil War soldier buried in the region. Individuals and historical, genealogical, lineage, and other organizations are invited to participate.

The second goal of the project is to survey the condition of the tombstones, indicating if they are broken, legible or illegible, military or private. It is hoped that the project will spur the marking of graves and/or repair of tombstones. The forms submitted for the project will become part of a East Tennessee Civil War graves collection in the McClung Historical Collection, where, given the forces of time and progress, they will be a permanent record of the stones, their locations, and conditions.

The database of information is slated to launch in October 2013 and can be accessed via the East Tennessee Historical Society website.
