With additional text, a listing of all Civil War veterans buried at the Central Wisconsin Veterans Memorial Cemetery at King, WI. The listing includes: full name, Civil War unit(s), military rank, birth/death dates, and grave location. Cross reference lists provide names of veterans by state of service, federal service, rank (other than Private), and Wisconsin regiment for those who served from Wisconsin. Also, a listing of all Civil War dependents - wives, widows, mothers, and daughters buried in the same cemetery. The listing includes: full name, birth/death dates, and burial location. For most, the name and military unit is listed for the veteran-sponsor. A cross reference list of known maiden names is also included. Additional text includes a detailed biography of Sgt John W. Only, who was an indentured servant before the war, served in the 43rd US Colored Infantry during the war, and then served in two different 'Buffalo Soldier' units after the war: the 9th and 10th US Cavalry regiments. A basic map of the original half of the cemetery - where all of the Civil War burials were made - is included, with instruction for locating grave locations.

Among those laid to rest here are two Revolutionary soldiers, James Morgan and Samuel Riddle. Many Civil War soldiers were interred in this cemetery, and the memorial stones for those soldiers have been included. The earliest birth date found within the cemetery is April 5, 1748, and the earliest burial is 1820. Many times the maiden name of the wife was included on the stones, and some inscriptions also contain the place of birth, place of death, marriage dates, and in one case, the place of marriage, in Germany. Entries include: location of grave, surname, given name(s), maiden name, date and place of birth, date and place of death, inscriptions and comments. Relevant data found elsewhere, such as Civil War service information, has also been included. Not all data appears for each person. This work is complimented with a map of the Wauwatosa Cemetery.
