In 2003, the Sons of Union Veterans embarked on a project to “locate and appropriately mark the final resting place of the last Civil War Soldier buried in each county/parish and in each state of this great country.”
For Daviess County, that soldier was William McNeeley. Mr. McNeeley was a member of the 43rd Indiana Volunteer Infantry. He passed away in May of 1942 and was buried at Walnut Hill Cemetery in Odon.
