This is a listing of the Confederate POWs who died while prisoners in the Louisville Military Prison, and were buried in Cave Hill Cemetery, Louisville, KY. Most of these were either wounded, or too sick to send to prisons further North, such as Camps Morton, Douglas, Chase, & others. As POWs began to die there, local Unionists did not want them buried with the Union dead, so a couple of well-to-do Confederate sympathizers bought and donated ground in Cave Hill Cemetery, which later became the Confederate sections. (Some CS POWs did, however, end up buried among the Federals in what became the National Cemetery.) ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/ky/jefferson/cemeteries/cavehill.txt
CAVE HILL CONFEDERATE CEMETERY, LOUISVILLE, JEFFERSON COUNTY, KENTUCKY DAY JOHN C. H NC INF 10/04/1919 CS LOT 2671/2 #68 GRANDISS BAXTER NC 04/10/1863 CS LOT 260, #54 TEAGUE/TRIGUE BLOOMINGTON PVT E 28 NC 07/30/1864 CS LOT 266, #85
There is also a Georgia woman, Elizabeth Timms, buried among the CS POWs. She was taken from her home when the Federals passed by in 1864 and shipped North (her husband was away in the ANV). She was imprisoned in the women's section of the LMP, and died there (reportedly due to mistreatment at the hands of Dr. Mary Walker). Her dying wish was "bury me with my people," which is where she lies to this day.
The National Prisoner Of War Museum, Andersonville, GA This site describes the Prisoner of War Museum located at Andersonville, and is useful for our purposes because it lists the number of POWs for the various wars we have been involved with, including percentage death rates, which gives you some idea of how badly the people involved were treated. http://www.censusdiggins.com/prison_andersonville.html
The following site has a search engine for Andersonville prisoners---I suggest searching by last name--and remember spelling variants, etc: http://www.corinthian.net/mccc/plookup.htm
