I just joined this site in hopes that someone out there could help me locate exactly where the Bristol Well Nevada Cemetery is located. I have done a lot of searching and found some things, like there is only one headstone still standing. I realize it is probably going to be a tough trek but I really want to locate it.
My ggfather is buried there and I have just found out that the VA will supply a Civil War headstone for the gravesite, if I can cross all the t's and dot all the i's. It might be on private property and I need to find out exactly so I can get the necessary permission. Trying hard to complete it this year as this is the 150th anniversary of the Iowa 5th Infantry battle at Chattanooga, TN. This was where he was captured and survived 2 years in Andersonville until the end of the war. Then he went west and worked in the mines of Utah and Nevada.
