6th Missouri, Company D
​

Stoddard County


Picture6th Missouri Span-Am Service Medal
Company D, 6th Missouri Infantry was located in Dexter, Missouri and made up of men from across Stoddard County.  It departed Bloomfield by rail for Jefferson Barracks on July 12, 1898.  The company was presented with colors made and paid for by the citizens of Bloomfield.  

The 6th Missouri was organized as part of President William McKinley's second call for volunteers on May 25, 1898.  From the end of July until August 6, 1898, the regiment went through organization at Jefferson Barracks in St. Louis where it mustered twenty-seven officers and 1,265 enlisted men.  From there the regiment was sent south to Camp Cuba Libre in Florida.  From there it was sent to Savannah, Georgia and on December 21, company D boarded the transport Roumanian for Havana, Cuba.  From Havana the regiment marched to Camp Columbia-Quemados, Mariano, Cuba.  The regiment drilled and participated in a large "practice march" in February of 1899.  On April 8, 1899, the regiment boarded the steamer, Havana and traveled to Savannah, Georgia, arriving April 10, 1899.  The unit was quarantined on Daufuskie Island for six days to prevent any diseases from spreading.  April 16, it crossed over to Savannah and mustered out of service on May 10, 1899.  

During service, the regiment lost one officer and twenty-three enlisted men to disease, one enlisted man died in an accident, one was court-martialed, twenty-four deserted, and thirty-two were discharged on disability.
