Rock Island Confederate Cemetery
Moline, Rock Island County, IL
During the Civil War, over 12,000 Confederate prisoners were housed on Rock Island (now Arsenal Island) in Rock Island, IL. Of those housed here about 2000 died from smallpox, pneumonia and other medical ailments. These men were buried in a separate cemetery located on the eastern end of the island.
My Great Great Great Grandfather Leviticus Fuller died as a POW and is buried in the cemetery at Rock Island. See
