Roster of Ex-Union Soldiers and Soldiers’ Widows Residing in Lincoln County

From the Lincoln Beacon, June 29, 1889

The table is organized by township, with soldier’s rank and company in which he was enlisted. In transcribing the data I have tried to follow the original format, but I’ve written out some abbreviations and also alphabetized the list within townships. At the bottom is a chart giving the totals. There were 327 former Union soldiers and 23 widows of Union soldiers in the county.
