There were a number of persons who enlisted for service in the Civil war, who were assigned to companies and regiments made up in some of the larger counties and cities in which places the boys found themselves in their anxious de- sire to assist in suppressing the Rebellion. Be- low is found a roster of the regiments and com- panies where any Cass County soldiers' names appear on the records, or it has been possible to find them. If any are overlooked, or are not found in the lists it will be for the reason that such names or information was not attainable.
