Mount Salem Cemetery is the final resting place for over 90 Civil War veterans. Every May around Memorial Day we conduct a solemn observance to commemorate the service of these veterans. The 14 page downloadable PDF below provides detailed information about each of the veterans.

Appomattox Camp No. 2 will host our annual Memorial Service for Union Veterans buried in Mt. Salem Cemetery on Sunday, May 24, 2026 from 11:00 AM to 12:30. We will begin with a service in the church at 11:00 am, followed by a wreath laying at the statue of Rear Admiral Samuel DuPont in Rockford Park. Next we will proceed to the Cemetery across the street where we will highlight the lives of several veterans buried in the cemetery. We're very pleased that this year the descendants of both Henry C. Massey and William Henry Miller I will join us in this year's service to honor their ancestors . We will conclude the service by sharing a picnic lunch in the church hall. We invite you to join us in this Memorial Service.
