Confederate
Veterans Buried
in
Riverview (City) Cemetery
Clarksville, Tennessee
Riverview (City)
Cemetery
was the public cemetery in Clarksville almost from the beginning of the
town
until Greenwood Cemetery opened in 1873.
Riverview
Cemetery received
Confederate soldiers who were killed in action, as well as soldiers who
died in
the hospitals in Clarksville. In 1899,
Forbes Bivouac dedicated a monument to 127 unknown Confederate soldiers
buried
in the cemetery.
Mrs. Mable Rosson
took a
census of the cemetery in 1936 and 1939.
A second census was taken in 1970-71.
The second census was published in The Montgomery County
Genealogical
Journal, published by Ann Evans Alley. "Copied and Prepared by
Priscilla
Pickering Weathersby, Leader, and members of Senior Girl Scout Troop #1: Charlotte Wethersby, Barbara Robinette, Gina
Ledbetter, and Gwen Powers. Work was
begun the middle of October 1970 and completed the last of March, 1971." The census was published in the Journal in
quarterly installments, the first in Volume II, Number 3, March, 1973,
and the last in
Volume VI,
#4, June, 1976.
A list of
"Soldiers
Buried in Riverside (This should be Riverview) Cemetery" was published
in
The Montgomery County Genealogical Journal, Volume VII, Number 2,
December, 1977,
page 59 (List 1 below). The source of
the list is not stated, but it may be the roster of
Forbes Bivouac, since it immediately follows the last
installment
of the roster. On the next page is:
"There is a second list in the notebook which reads ""Confederate
dead. Copied from a clipping which is pasted in the sheepskin binding
record –
a partial list of those who sleep in Riverside.""
"Of the 32 names
on
this second list all but 12 appear on the first list."
(List 1a below).
Following the
last installment
of the 1970-71 census is a list of Confederate soldiers buried in
Riverview,
and a statement that the census takers were able to find all but six of
the
graves listed. Graves not duplicated on List 1 or 1a are identified as
List 2.
Below is an
integration of
the three lists, supplemented with information about Rank, Company and
Regiment, when available, from Tennesseeans in the Civil War, birth and
death
dates from the tombstones and Forbes Bivouac records, and comments from
other
sources. For those graves that appear
on the 1970-71 census, the cemetery section number is provided. If the soldier's name appears in the Forbes
Bivouac records, his member number is provided.
