Posted on by

The following surnames are those who were listed as serving in the Civil War, Spanish-American War and World War I.
The sources used in this surname index are:
1.” They Called It Meadow Grove”,
2. “Do You Remember”,
3. “Tilden, Nebraska centennial book”,
4. “Newman Grove, Nebraska centennial book”.
In the sources used it was stated if a veteran was missed, it was not intentional.  Some of the names are listed more than once. In these cases it could be due to more than one person in the county over the years with that name. It may also be due to the fact that a person may be mention on several pages in a source. The Madison County Genealogical Society has the complete list complied from the above sources showing which war each served in the military.

Some of the names may be from outside of Madison County.  The area covered by the Newman Grove book covers part of Platte and Boone Counties as well as Madison County.  The area covered by the Tilden book covers a part of Antelope County as well as Madison County.

The listing below is in 3 columns with Last Name, First Name and middle initial or name if known.
