And then this Link for the actual Records
Here is the FS Wiki which explains the records and their contents


During the 1960's and 1970's, a Gentleman named Sherman Lee Pompey did a lot of Military Research:
Quite a few of his works can be found in the FS Catalog: The focus of his research seems to surround the Civil War
along with the Cavalry and Infantry Troops who were involved.
There are a lot of Burial Records for those who fought and lost their lives from one cause or another.
This List is for all of the MO Records Available.
I have downloaded several of the Booklets:
They can all be found here

"Master list of Missouri Civil War Veteran Burials"
Note:
There are no Indexes: But, the format Mr Pompey used is consistent in that he lists the Names from the 'Top Down'
In other words, Officers [Rank] to Non-Comissioned & Enlisted Men last.
