Notes
 Note |
Co D 22nd WI Infantry - died of disease Danville National Cemetery is located within the city of Boyle County, Bellevue Cemetery, Ky. Danville, Ky., is the county seat, situated about 40 miles southwest of Frankfort. The Dick’s River, a primary watershed and one of the geographic references during the settlement era, is located three miles east of town. Danville was among the first settlements in what was then the county of Kentucky, established in 1787 by the Virginia legislature. Kentucky's first governor, Isaac Shelby, made his home at Danville. The seat of Kentucky's government was first established here. Members of the first Constitutional Convention met in Danville and adopted the first state constitution. In 1792, the government was removed to Lexington before settling eventually in Frankfort. Walker Daniel laid out the town, and gave the community its identity – Danville. At the beginning of the Civil War, the federal government appropriated 18 cemetery lots from the town of Danville within the limits of what was called Danville City Cemetery. The small soldiers lot was established as a national cemetery in 1862. In 1876, it was designated a fourth class cemetery. The lots covered an area less than half an acre and are laid off in the form of a rectangle. A square post of dressed limestone with the letters “U.S.” on the upper face marks each corner. The plot is divided into six sections, five of which are for the burial of solders and one for the interment of civilians. Most of the original interments were Union soldiers who died at the hospital in Danville, while the rest were primarily reinterments from regional cemeteries. A Confederate lot in the city cemetery with 66 interments adjoins Danville National Cemetery |
