Worcester War Veterans

This list includes all identified veterans buried in Worcester Township cemeteries.  We are in the process of compiling information on all of these individuals so we can honor them in our museum.  We welcome any information you can provide in this endeavor, especially photos so we can put faces with the names.  If you can provide any input into this, please email it to librarian@worcesterhistorical.org.

This list is a work in progress and will change as more information becomes available.
