Ogden City Cemetery G.A.R. Monument

Utah saw no Civil War battles, yet Union veterans are buried across this cemetery — and in 1925 their fraternal order, the Grand Army of the Republic, raised a monument to their memory. The G.A.R. was the great veterans' lodge of the North, and Ogden's post gathered Union men the railroad had carried to the junction city after the war, who mustered out and stayed. By 1925 their ranks were thinning fast. The stone stands where the last of them chose to be remembered as an army, not as strangers.
