In the cemetery at Lima Center, Rock County (between Milton and Whitewater) are interred numerous Civil War soldiers from the township. The majority are from the 13th Wisconsin, and their gravestones often so state.
Among these graves are the following veteran interrments from Company E, Thirty-third Wisconsin:
First Lieutenant Henry B. Cornell Corp. William Truman Silas B. Crocker Franklin B. Anderson Warren G. Barber
...and an cenotaph to Corp. Albert C. Jones, Co. F, killed in action at Cane River (Cloutierville) Louisiana April 24, 1864 and Private Myron West, Co. F, died of disease in Memphis, Tenn. on July 2 [may be July 1] 1864.
There may be other Thirty-third vets. buried there and not otherwise identified with a GAR marker star or other identifier. These are the ones that I found in the available time... making it the largest grouping of Co. E related burials known to me. As many of you know, the largest number of Thirty-third veteran interrments yet found is the cemetery on the south side of Boscobel.
Bob.

I know it isn't Co. E but as I was strolling through the local cemetaries earlier this winter I found the grave of Pvt. Harmon Dean of Company G of the 33rd Wisconsin. It is in a cemetary called Resting Green Cemetary, and is located near Ironton, way out in the country. He does have a GAR marker and his gravestone states that he was in the 33rd. He is the only one that I've found so far.
