Seeking Civil War Headstone Applications from Wisconsin

Nadine,

Here is some information pertaining to Mr. Bullock This is a pension Index look at where he served but then look were he filled in Wis.

Also try using this handy Wisconsin Veterans Museum in Madison, Wis. Have used this for many research and looked at the database he is not listed as serving in Wisconsin during the civil war so it leads me to believe the information below is your man since his pension records indicate they filled in Wisconsin and not New York.

Additionally found the 1900 and 1910 Census showing from Appleton, Wis. However, the 1905 Census showed them living in Watertown, Wis

Pleas see link to database hopefully it can guide you on other grave sites. https://wisvetsmuseum.com/research/civil-war-database/

Hope this helps,

Elliot Schneider

Dear Ms. Guilbault,

Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!

We searched the National Archives Catalog and located Lists of Headstones, 1912 - 1916 in the Records of the Office of the Quartermaster General (Record Group 92), which is the Entry NM-81 596 you asked about.  We also located Record of Headstone Contracts and U.S. Soldiers' Burials, 1861 - 1903; List of Inscriptions for Headstones for Private Cemeteries Furnished Under Contract With Gross and Deely, 1911 - 1912; Lists of Inscriptions for Headstones for Private Cemeteries, 1911 - 1912; List of Headstones Under Contract With Lee Marble Works for Unmarked Graves of U.S. Soldiers, Sailors, and Marines, 1909 - 1911; and Applications for Headstones in Private Cemeteries, 1909 - 1924 in Record Group 92.

The Record of Headstone Contracts and U.S. Soldiers' Burials, 1861 - 1903 are the records available on Ancestry as the Headstones Provided for Deceased Union Civil War Veterans, 1861-1904 collection you linked. The other records series listed above have not been digitized and are not available online.
