Just to elaborate a little on veteran burial information available in La Porte County
beyond what Holly Jenks supplied regarding the activities of the La Porte County Cemetery
Commission, Veteran Grave Registration Cards in alphabetical sequence are housed at the La
Porte County Historical Society's Museum Research Area. This is an up-to-date file
and each year cards are added for veterans who died during the year. These cards are
supplied to the historical society at the end of each year by the American Legion. The La
Porte County Public Library also houses and alphabetical file of these cards.
In addition, copies of plat maps of all of the cemeteries in La Porte County are on file
in the Research Area of the Museum. Anyone wishing to learn more about information
available here are invited to visit our website at
