GENERAL INFORMATION
GRAVE LOCATION:
The grave location of your loved one is furnished on the map included in the burial document folder.
There is a grave locator behind the Administration Building to assist weekend visitors who may not
know the location of the gravesite.GRAVE MARKER:
A temporary grave marker is used to mark the grave following the interment.
A permanent grave marker will be furnished free of charge by the Government without application from the family.
Every effort is made to have the grave marker delivered and set within 60 days from the day of interment.GROUNDS MAINTENANCE:
Immediately after each interment, the grave is filled and leveled.
As soon as the headstone/marker is set, the site will be seeded.
Until growing conditions are favorable and turf has been established,
burial areas may be substandard in appearance. Because the soil continues
to sink after a burial, a new grave requires repeated renovation.
Matters which appear to need immediate corrective action should be brought
to the attention of the Cemetery Administrator.FLAGS:
The United States flag is flown over national cemeteries every day.
The flag is flown at half staff on the morning of Memorial Day and during interment services
Graves are decorated with small United States flags the day before Memorial Day and are removed

J B Cemetery, is an American military cemetery located in Saint Louis County, Missouri, on the Mississippi River.
The cemetery was established after the American Civil War in an attempt to put together a formal network of military cemeteries.
It started as the Jefferson Barracks Military Post Cemetery in 1826 and became a United States National Cemetery in 1866.
The first known burial was Elizabeth Ann Lash, the infant child of an officer stationed at JB.
The cemetery is currently administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs on the former site of Jefferson Barracks.
The currently covers about 350 acres and the number of interments as of 2007 is approximately 160,000.
The cemetery is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.Notable interments
Jack Buck, former St Louis Cardinals baseball announcer
First Lieutenant Michael Joseph Blassie, previously interred as the "Vietnam unknown soldier"
at the Tomb of the Unknowns, reinterred here after DNA testing positively identified his remains.
Major Ralph Cheli, awarded the Medal of Honor for heroism while leading a bombing mission in World War II.
Johnnie Johnson, pioneering rock music musician.
As well, there are three veterans of the American Revolution buried in the Old Post Section:
Private Richard Gentry, was a veteran of the Revolutionary and the Indian Wars.
He was present at the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown.
Major Russell Bissell, was a veteran of the Revolutionary and Indian Wars.
Colonel Thomas Hunt, was a "Minuteman" at the Battles of Lexington and Concord, April 1775.
During the revolution he was wounded at the Battle of
Stony Point and Siege of Yorktown. He was also a veteran of the Indian Wars.
thanks to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jefferson_Barracks_National_CemeteryJefferson Barracks, one of the National Cemetery Administrations oldest interment sites,
has served as a burial place soldiers from all wars.
The original military post was built south of St. Louis,
on the banks of the Mississippi River to replace Fort Bellefontaine.
Selected for its strategic location, the post was opened in 1826.
Jefferson Barracks became the army’s first permanent base west of the Mississippi River.
By the 1840s, it was the largest military establishment in the US.
During the Civil War, Jefferson Barracks served as a training post for the Union Army.
There was also a hospital at the post for the Union army’s sick and wounded.
Although Jefferson Barracks was formally established as a national cemetery in 1866, the first burial,
at what is now Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery is believed to have occurred the year after the post’s founding.
On that date, Elizabeth Ann Lash, the infant daughter of an officer stationed at Jefferson Barracks was interred at the post cemetery.
The Civil War initiated the beginnings of a formal network of military cemeteries. The first general
U.S. cemetery legislation was an omnibus bill enacted July 17, 1862, authorizing President Lincoln to purchase cemetery grounds,
and cause them to be securely enclosed, to be used as a national cemetery for the soldiers who shall have died in the service
of the country.” By the end of the year, the first 14 national cemeteries were created.
Jefferson Barracks was formally established as a national cemetery in 1866 by passage of a joint resolution authorizing
the Secretary of War to take action to preserve graves from desecration and secure suitable burial-places
in which they may be properly interred….”The old cemetery contains approximately 20,000 grave sites, including more than 1,000 Confederate dead.
During this era, Union dead were interred in sections by state,
as far as that could be determined, including: 7,536 Whites, 1,067 African Americans, 1,010 Confederate POWs,
and 556 “not of military service.” Within the original
cemetery tract, Sections 5 through 53 were laid out; the sections currently numbered 54-66, and 88, contain older
burials but are irregularly numbered because the ponds,
sink holes and administrative open space was converted to burial areas.
In 1870, the cemetery “quadrangle” at Jefferson Barracks measured approximately 750’ x 1,230’, and was surrounded
by a standardized wooden picket fence “recently whitewashed.”
Within two years this fence was replaced by a stonewall 4,269 feet long and 1’-6” wide. A 16’-wide drive lined the
interior of the wall, and crossed through the cemetery delineating large sections;
narrower 10’ wide paths further subdivided the grounds. “These drives and paths are covered with coarse broken stone,
and, being but little used, are very uncomfortable to drive or walk over.”
The major interior paths had brick gutters and were lined with dense rows of the same types of trees. In addition,
there were eight painted artillery guns, “planted vertically, as monuments” throughout the cemetery.
In August 1871, it was reported that more than $142,287 had been spent developing and maintaining the cemetery to date.
The next year Jefferson Barracks was categorized as a “First Class” cemetery, an Army designation based on “the extent
and importance” of the facilities, which also determined the superintendent’s salary of $75 per month. In 1875,
the first enlargement of the cemetery took place.
During the early 1880s cast-metal tablets containing verse, “The Gettysburg Address” the War Department’s General
Orders No. 80, and text of the 1867 Act to establish and protect national cemeteries.
As space within the enclosure walls became limited, an expansion that would more than double the size of the
cemetery was underway by the early 1890s. The original entrance with its “double iron gates hung on handsome
piers of rough dressed limestone” and the old administration building/lodge were located on
the north side of the existing cemetery. The landscape in some areas of JB was one of the most contentious.
Behind this building there were:
…two deep depressions in the ground, similar to the “sink-holes” in limestone formations, each having in its
bottom a small pond; one has been enlarged and surrounded by a stone wall, making a miniature lake; the other
is in its natural state. The ponds have subterranean communications with each other and with the
Mississippi, and are affected by the rise and fall of water in that river, but are never dry.
The superintendent’s personal domain included a grape arbor, privy and cistern, as well as evergreen trees and shaped
planting beds of flowers and vegetables. By 1893 the approach to the entrance was established via a gravel road
flanked by deciduous trees and “plank fences.” Already there were a fountain, two sheds,
two stables, a two-room cottage for seasonal laborers, and a rectangular rostrum (1872) located on the expanded property.
In 1922 an Executive Order assigned 170 acres of military reservation to the Veterans Bureau (now Department of Veterans Affairs).
In July 1936, the War Department formally named Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery as a component of
Jefferson Barracks, along with similar designations of military reservations at instillations including those
named in honor of persons, target ranges and national cemeteries.Gradually the importance of the post lessened and Jefferson Barracks was deactivated in 1946.
Expansion of the cemetery, however, was granted by 1947 legislation authorizing the Secretary of War to
“utilize and expand existing facilities” at JB “when practicable, through the use of federally owned lands
under the jurisdiction of the War Department” that were no longer needed for military purposes.
World War II casualties introduced a new focus to the cemetery as the central repository for group
interments resulting from national disasters, when individual remains cannot be identified.
Among the more than 560 group burials—meaning two or more veterans in a common grave—are 123 victims of
a 1944 Japanese massacre of POWs in the Philippines, and the remains of 41 unidentified marines who
perished in a South Vietnam helicopter crash in 1968. Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery was listed on
the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.
