"The need for a burial site in Fort Collins arose in 1864 during the establishment of the Fort Collins Military Post by Lt. Col. William O. Collins. The burial ground was located on high ground about one half-mile southwest of the post (present-day location of the old Post Office at Oak Street and College Avenue)."
The Post Cemetery was abandoned in 1873.
The remains were moved to Mountain Home cemetery.
In the 1920s the remains were moved to Section S in Grandview cemetery.
"A one-half acre plat (Section S) was set aside and dedicated to the uses of George H. Thomas/Post No. 7/Grand Army of the Republic, which also included the remains of soldiers buried at the Post Cemetery."
