[For details on this project visit the introduction in the block 01 post. By lot no.]
Block 05 consists of at least 21 and possibly as many as 22 veterans of the Civil War; at least one of which may be a cenotaph.
Lot 5. George H. Barker (1836-1862) served in the 1st Michigan Engineers & Mechanics and his father Capt. George J. Barker (1800-1865). Hall lists both names but only the younger George is found in the Michigan regimental index. George H. died at Covington, KY; this may be a cenotaph.
Lot 7. Esquire Chase Phillips served in the 3rd Michigan Infantry.
Lot 9. James Patterson served in the 1st Michigan Engineers & Mechanics and William Bloxton fought in the 25th Virginia Infantry.
Lot 12. Frederick Deane served in the 13th Battery of the 1st Michigan Light Artillery.
Lot 13. Leonard Remington served with the 4th Michigan Cavalry.
Lot 14. Obed Foote served in the 3rd Michigan Cavalry.
Lot 15. George Crothers was a member of the 151st Ohio Infantry.
Lot 19. Benjamin Eaton served with the 6th Michigan Cavalry. Amos Rood who served with the Wisconsin 7th Infantry is reportedly buried in lot 19 but he has no marker. The cemetery burial cards do not show him in lot 19, however.
Lot 21. Albert Sidney Smith served in the the 1st Michigan Engineers & Mechanics.
Lot 23. Carlton Neal and his son Oscar both served in the 3rd Michigan Infantry. Carlton also served in Battery L of the 1st Michigan Light Artillery.
Lot 25. Cornelius Tanner and John B. Tanner both are listed as veterans by Hall but neither is found in the Michigan regimental index. Cornelius does not have a marker.
Lot 27. Spencer Squier or Squiers served with the 1st Michigan Engineers & Mechanics.
Lot 28. George Wells formerly of the 6th Michigan Cavalry. According to Chapman's 1881 History of Kent County Fred Rose is reportedly buried in lot 28 as well but he is not reported anywhere else in the sources. He may have been the same Frederick R. Rose who served in the 1st Michigan Engineers & Mechanics.
Lot 30. Rev. Francis Cuming served as chaplain for the 3rd Michigan Infantry.
Lot 32. Orson Withey is listed as a veteran by Francis Hall but is not found in the Michigan regimental index.
