The Glenwood Cemetery in Mankato, Minnesota, serves as the final resting place for over 150 Civil War soldiers, whose ranks and units reflect their diverse contributions to the Union effort. These veterans, born between 1789 and 1848, died between 1863 and 1935, ranging in age from 20 to 95 at the time of their passing. Among them, notable ranks include Colonel John F. Robinson, Captain William Bierbauer, and Captain Clark Keysor. They served in various units, predominantly from Minnesota, such as the 2nd Minnesota Infantry , the 1st Minnesota Heavy Artillery, and the 4th Minnesota Infantry. They played range of roles, from musicians to infantrymen. Causes of death varied, with many succumbing to diseases like consumption, apoplexy, and heart disease, while others faced unique fates, such as John Griswold, killed by a bull, or Charles Cain, who died from a gunshot wound to the head. Their graves are maintained through efforts by historians and groups like the Sons of Union Veterans, preserving their legacy of service.
