I am pleased to announce a new section to We're Coming To America, a photo index of veterans buried in Rock County.

The primary purpose is to photo archive the older stones but also includes Oakhill National Cemetery.

For civil war vets, most include a printable service summary. Please visit Rock Count Veteran Burials today.
