New Hampshire's Last Civil War Veterans

In conjunction with the National Organization of the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War, Charles W Canney Camp #5 has worked for many years on compiling a list of the last surviving Civil War veteran from each New Hampshire town. Obviously, this a daunting task, but one that our camp is committed to. While we ultimately may not find records for each and every town, we will continue this project until all towns with such records have been found and documented.

If you have any information on a potential candidate for the last survivor in a particular town, please contact us
and we will work to validate your information.
