Veterans Buried in Washington County Cemeteries
and Out-Of-County Burials with a Washington County Connection
With a special section for Washington County veterans buried in Yuma Cemetery

The primary source for this listing was Pat Oestman's Washington County Cemeteries. However, the book was published circa 1995 and there have been many additional veteran burials which aren't reflected here. Currently, Arlene Glenn is supplying most of the new names.

Additions and/or corrections should be sent to Daniel B Cooley.

Underlined names are linked to an obituary or, if preceded by a gold star, an individual biography on the Gold Star Memorial Page.
