Transcribed from the Johnstown Tribune May 19, 1908

Note: This article lists veteran burials in over 70 cemeteries. Each cemetery is listed on a separate page (links below article).

In accordance with the Tribune's custom, it here presents its yearly
roster of the honored soldier dead whose graves in the cemeteries
indicated will be visited by comrades of the Grand Army of the Republic on
Memorial Day and marked with flags and decked with flowers. First is given
a list of soldiers who have died during the past twelve months, with the
date of death and place of burial, following it are the cemeteries under
the jurisdiction of Emory Fisher Post 30, G. A. R. and then those of
outside districts.

During the past twelve months forty-one Civil War veterans and two
Spanish-American War veterans have died in Johnstown and other places in
Cambria County, together with several veterans in Conemaugh, Jenner, and
Paint townships, in Somerset County. The two Spanish-American War veterans
were John Wesley Clinger, who was a private in Company H., Fifth
Pennsylvania Volunteers and Capt. C. H. Hayden who was in the foreign
service.

Looks After 900 Graves.

Of the number of veterans who passed away in Johnstown since last
Memorial Day, almost half of them repose in Grand-View Cemetery, where
their graves will be marked by details from Emory Fisher Post 30, G. A.
R., which organization will also have charge of decorating the five new
soldiers' graves in Sandyvale Cemetery. In these two cemeteries alone
there are in the neighborhood of 525 soldiers, including a few veterans of
the War of 1812, some Mexican War veterans and some Spanish-American War
veterans. The great majority were Civil War veterans. Besides these two
cemeteries, Emory Fisher Post will have charge of decorating the graves in
other cemeteries in Johnstown and vacinity and some in Somerset and
Indiana counties, making a total of about 900 soldiers dead. A
Revolutionary soldier is buried in the old Union Cemetery at the foot of
Market Street.

John Butler, James Glass, and Watson Stewart, veterans of the Civil
War, perished in the Great Flood of 1889 and no record has ever been made
of the recovery of their remains. It is thought they repose in the Unknown
Plot in Grand-View Cemetery.
