Soldiers of the 28th Wisconsin Infantry
Buried at Little Rock, Arkansas

Information from the National Cemetery at Little Rock was cross-referenced with a 28th Wisconsin roster to find the date and place of death for each soldier. In every case, except for Capt. Mandeville Townsend, the soldier died of an unspecified disease. Throughout the War, death from disease took a greater toll on the 28th Wisconsin than did death caused by wounds received in battle.

Kirby Scott writes:

While on vacation this year, I was in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, and the people at the museum there told me that all of the soldiers who were buried at Pine Bluff were exhumed years ago and re-buried in the National Cemetery, So I visited the National Cemetery located at Little Rock, Arkansas and found 30 graves of the Wisconsin 28th Infantry. I took pictures of the gravestones and noted the locations of them. This is who I found: [Grave marker for Albert Voght]
