This project was undertaken on behalf of the Civil War Round Table of Orange County.  I would like to thank the following members for their help and time in walking the graveyards of Orange County:  Karen Turner, Laurie Funk, Bruce Young, Bruce Willis, Larry Fincher and Richard De Vecchio.

The vast majority of this data was gathered by Gordon Bricken of Santa Ana.  I couldn't have completed this project without his help.

Thanks also to Maureen Rivers, Glen Roosevelt and Myron Roberts of the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War, Farrell Cooley of the Captain James Waddell Camp of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, and Reverand Lou Carlson of Fairhaven Memorial Park.

My fellow board members of the Civil War Round Table of Orange County helped me immensely with their support and enthusiasm over the last 2 years. They are Carl Clink, Anna Howland and David Shultz.

Finally, I would like to thank my father, Jesse Gillette, for the long hours spent typing the list and my mother, Helen, for making certain the my work made the front page of all the local papers.

In a project of this size, there are bound to be omissions and mistakes. I  apologize for these in advance, but I would like to assure any reasearcher using this list that every effort was made to insure the accuracy of all this information.
