Soldiers and Sailors Honored at Mt. Moriah Cemetery
Civil War Hospital Dead Mt. Morian Plots
Civil War Dead - Hospital Plot - Mt. Moriah Cemetery, Philadelphia Pa
Surveyed  6/4/2005
See notes below

The stones in the 200 section pictured above are laid out in numerical sequence from top of the slight slope to the bottom and from left to right. Stone number 1 is thus the stone farthest from your view in the middle of the picture. The rows run down the slope from right to left, thus the row on your left is the last row and the last stone, Nr 404, is the closest to you in that row.
Click on the number below for an image of each stone. The letters denote row, and are not engraved on the stones themselves.

The soldiers are listed below in stone sequence. Click on the list below to go to the appropriate page which gives details available and further links to the images of their stones.

Notes on the above list.
The listing above has been compiled and created as a genealogical assistance to those who may have ancestors buried in the Civil War Hospital plot in Mt. Moriah Cemetery, Philadelphia side, bordered by Kingsessing Ave. and Cobbs Creek Parkway in West Philadelphia.

The goal is to create hyperlinks within this site for additional data as it becomes available on those who died.

If you have additional data, please email me.

The motivation to create this site is somewhat spur of the moment. Mt. Moriah holds the remains of  my parents, some grandparents, a couple of great grandparents and one sibling. I've been visiting the plots since the late 1940's. The cemetery itself was first established in 1855 and now, some 150 years later, is showing the obvious signs of neglect that has become the norm for older cemeteries in urban settings.

Recently I thought to check out the rows of military stones set just inside the Philadelphia side of the cemetery off Cobbs Creek Parkway and realized they were civil war dead. A little on-line research turned up surprising information on the possible source of many of the dead - a large hospital complex built during the civil war to handle the wounded streaming up from the battles being waged.

More recently I happened by a Memorial Day ceremony honoring the dead by Civil War Re-enactors from the 28th Pvi. The poignancy of the event was palpable.  I was the only non-reenactor present for their 21-Gun salute.

It may be the last time the group is able to provide the service, as they have been for the past 10 years.
Whether or not that occurs I do not know. It did occur to me that someone should make the information available on the net so those who are looking might find what happened to their long lost great-greats (parents, uncles, etc)

I haven't done any further searching for information to expand on the information available on the gravestones, which I hope to do, but I'm hoping to create links to information for as many of those listed as I can.

What has struck me most is the fact that these soldiers died in pain, away from their units and primary comrades-in-arms and in some cases even further removed from their homes and families in as far away places as Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, New York and Maine.

How did they come to be buried at Mt. Moriah?

How did the plot itself come to be? As I was transcribing the names I paid some attention to a gap of some 9 grave stones in two successive rows, creating a square of some 20' by 40'. Why the gap? I remembered through my minds eye (with the assistance of some old films I saw years ago) that there was a wooden platform (bandstand) in the middle of the graves where notables would stand during commemorative days (probably Memorial Day). There are no traces of the platform now, and I suspect it may have been a temporary platform put up every year and taken down between occasions.

That made me wonder at the pre-planning and design of the plot which included the spacing for the platform. What was the sequence of burial? Totally unknown, since a number of redone stones have what has be be presumed to be dates of dath on them and they vary by some 3-4 years. If anyone knows the history of the interment procedure, I'd love to know. I feel safe in guessing they all were previously interred before their placement in Mt Moriah.

The gravestones themselves are in pretty good shape. Of the 404 stones, only 15 have been replaced and an additional 2 are virtually unreadable and unreadable respectively (2 Confederate soldiers). The remainder are all of the raised letter variety and, with the exception of a few broken off letters, are very readable. The downside is they obviously can't be rubbed for preservaton's sake.

Hopefully this site might encourage a more robust attendance at next year's Memorial Day observance.

Thanks for stopping by.
