The information that follows was transcribed from a LDS microfilm tape that was microfilmed in 1974 by the LDS. The tape was microfilmed at the Veterans Affairs Office in the Columbia County Court House in Bloomsburg, PA from the original index card file that contained veterans of all wars buried in Columbia County. I know of one person that was killed in the Vietnam War, in the 1960's, and is buried in Centralia but is not on this list. From this I conclude that the Veterans Affairs Office index card file is not 100% accurate. The war codes used on this list are: CW - Civil War SAW - Spanish American War WW1 - World War I WW2 - World War II KW - Korean War VW - Vietnam War PR - Philippine Resurrection NIC - N. I. C. Uprising, Mexico & Vera Cruz The cemetery codes used on this list are: I - St. Ignatius Cemetery M - St. Mary's Cemetery O - Odd Fellow Cemetery P - Sts. Peter & Paul Cemetery The branch of service codes used on this list are: A - Army N - Navy NR - Navy Reserve MC - Marine Corp CG - Coast Guard LAST NAME FIRST NAME WAR RANK BRANCH UNIT SERIAL # BORN DIED CEMETERY REMARKS ALEXANDER JOHN CW O ANDERSON ROBERT CW CAV CO B 5 REG PA O BARRETT ANTHONY WW1 PFC A CO L 39 INF I BERRIGAN JOHN J.
