The Civil War in Barry County.  Timeline of major events with accounts from original sources. 

March, 1862.  After the Battle of Pea Ridge, Cassville became a hospital ward for the wounded.  Two weeks later, a representative of the Western Sanitary Commission arrived there and found 400 wounded from the battle "lying in the clothes they fought in, stiff and dirty with blood and soil."  For a list of the soldiers who died and were buried at Cassville, see the MoBarry site at Rootsweb:  Union Soliders Buried At Cassville.
