Old Fort Marcy cemetery

These men were residents of Missouri and volunteers in the Mexican-American War under Col. Sterling Price. They died at Old Fort Marcy, New Mexico territory, during an outbreak of illness among the troops in late October and early November of 1846, and were buried at an unknown location near the fort. Their deaths were noted by a St. Louis Reveille newspaper correspondent in published accounts, which were later compiled in a book titled "The Mexican War Correspondence of Richard Smith Elliott" (University of Oklahoma Press, 1997).
