GAR Missouri Death Rolls Index
Many men in St. Louis served in the Civil War. While some served in the Confederacy, most were part of the Union Army. After the war, Union veterans formed a fraternal organization called the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR). By 1890, the GAR had about 400,000 members and the veterans can be traced in the GAR annual reports and death rolls. St. Louis had about 13 GAR posts, with approximately four hundred posts elsewhere in Missouri.
Original Civil War pension records are available at the National Archives in Washington, D.C. You can order the pension files online at the National Archives Military website.
This extraction of the Grand Army of the Republic – Missouri Division – index to death rolls 1882-1940 printed in the Proceedings of the Annual Encampments of the Department of Missouri, Grand Army of the Republic dated from 1882-1940 was created using Google AI Studio from the images provided by the State Historical Society of Missouri
