Poplar Grove National Cemetery is the final resting place for 6,291 individuals. We know the names of just over 2,200 of them. Below is a listing of all the known burials.

To simplify the search process, we are organizing names into smaller sections by soldiers' last names. The names are listed as they appear in the 1869 National Cemetery ledger. Some names appear with different spellings in the burial ledger and on the headstones.

Park staff and volunteers are currently researching the known soldiers. Variations or clarifications are identified through cross-referencing records. Any updates will be added to the 'Additional Information' column to ensure accuracy and transparency.

Working with nineteenth-century records can be challenging. Documents were handwritten in cursive writing, and information standards varied. These factors and others contribute to differences in spellings and underscore the importance of ongoing research.
