*Weathering of many grave markers makes reading names difficult. On a few headstones, names are nearly obscure. For  a few  graves, there are no markers. In that case, only Clear Lake Cemetery records verify the existence of a buried Civil War Veteran. It is possible, other Civil War Veterans are buried in Clear Lake and surrounding cemeteries. Please help us find and identify them.

**As of now, research is uncertain of their Cemetery location.
