Civil
War Veterans Reunion Unionville, MIssouri (Putnam
County) - September 1889
Typed by Claire
R. Lloyd
On September 18, 19 and 20,
1889, 739 Union Veterans of the Civil War, and their families and friends
attended a reunion in Unionville, MO. Although this was ostensibly a reunion
of the 18th Missouri Infantry, Union veterans from regiments from all over
the northern states attended the reunion. There were 346 men who had served
in Missouri regiments, 107 from Iowa and 52 from Illinois. There were 118
veterans who served in the 18th MO Regiment and 73 who had served in the
42nd MO Regiment and fewer from many other regiments. Of the attendees’residences
at the time of the reunion, 614 were from MIssouri, 119 from Iowa, 3 from
Nebraska and 3 from Kansas. One speaker estimated that 15,000 to 18,000
persons attended the event. On September 25, 1889 the Unionville Republican
published the text of all the speeches as well as the names, regiment of
service, company of service and the city and state of residence of each
veteran at the time of the reunion.See the List Back
