This page is dedicated to the memory of those who served in the Civil War from Clark County, Wisconsin. After the war, veterans from many other counties and states came to Clark County. If you are looking for your Civil War Ancestor, look in our Index. We have over 500 names listed from the various census' and from the messages that have been posted on the Records Board. If we missed anyone, please email Allan Wessel and I will add them to the index. The information is provided free of charge for non-profit uses and may not be reposted on any other sites or copied without permission.
