Cemetery History

Mountain Home National Cemetery was originally the "home cemetery" for the Mountain Home Branch of the National Asylum for Disabled Volunteered Soldiers. In 1901, Congress approved a bill introduced by Tennessee Congressman Walter Preston Brownlow to establish the 9th and final branch of the National Asylum system in the Johnson City area. Its purpose was to provide a home for Union veterans of the Civil War. In 1973, Mountain Home was transferred to the Veterans Administration and the home cemetery became a national cemetery.

Veterans Affairs Records, July 2000

Records linked below were acquired from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs on July 2, 2000. At the time, the VA were in the process of converting their paper records to electronic, and as a result many records were missing, along with many records containing errors. We are still providing access to these records because they contain additional information not found in the February 2022 records above. Total records: 9,657...

What makes us Different?

Single-sourced, not crowd-sourced

Each transcription we publish comes from a single-source, be it the cemetery office, government office, church office, archived document, a tombstone transcriber. Other websites already do an excellent job of crowd-sourcing a single cemetery together. But genealogists also need to see the original records from a single source. That's what we offer.
