Researching in the Library of Congress recently, I found some listings of
Confederate soldiers who died as POWs in the North and were buried there. The
book is "Confederate POWs - Soldiers and Sailors Who Died in Federal Prisons
and Military Hospitals in the North." It was apparently gathered by Frances
Terry Ingmire from the National Archives and published in 1984 in
Nacogdoches, Texas.
Here are the Camps listed:
Name Rank Co. Reg. Death Date Cemetery
Camp, G.W. Sgt G 39 Ga 6/17/64 Rock Island, Ill
Camp, J.G. 1 Corp B 7 Tx Inf 5/20/62 Oak Woods,
Chicago
Camp, Jas H. Pvt A 6 S.C. Cav 5/5/65 Cypress Hills,
Brooklyn
Camp, Jos M. Pvt K 64 Ga Inf 9/16/64 Camp Chase,
Columbus, O
Camp, Noah Pvt G 5 N.C. 12/--/64 Loudon Park
NC, Balt, Md
Camp, William Pvt B 4 Ala 1/29/65 Camp Chase,
Columbus, O
A quick check for the cemeteries using a search engine (I used Alta Vista)
found most have several interesting sites. Cypress Hills and Loudon Park, for
instance, were in the first group of national cemeteries created by a law
Lincoln signed July 17, 1862. Oak Woods is a major cemetery on the South Side
(67th Street and Cottage Grove) and is also burial place for lots of big
names, including Enrico Fermi and Harold Washington. Camp Chase has a ghost
known, appropriately under the circumstances, as the Lady in Gray.
The book could be a treasure trove for a lot of other family names if you
have Southern male relatives missing, or at least unaccounted for, from the
Civil War period.
