It's been a while since I brought you all up-to-date on research concerning Confederate veterans buried in Montgomery County, IN. At last count, I have found 79 buried in Montgomery County and 19 who spent a significant amount of time here in the County, but who are buried in sourrounding counties or who were taken home to be buried and are out of the state. I also have discovered 5 Confederate vets who are buried in Montgomery County who were from Ireland. I guess the Irish were always spoiling for a good fight. Here are the names and what I have as far as units served in. If anyone out there can add to my records, please feel free to contact me. I have all the information on Microsoft Excel and would like to share it if anyone is interested. Send me an e-mail address and I will send the complete files. The Irish Confederates are all buried in the Catholic Cemetery (Calvary Cemetery) north of Crawfordsville. Here are the names:
Patrick Duffy b. 10/1/18833 abd d. 5/13/1881
John D. O'Conner b. 2/19/1840 in County Cork
