Stone and brick monument honoring the Confederate soldiers buried in the cemetery. The memorial is inscribed:
Romanic In Their Attachment To
The South, Tinged Somewhat With
The fatalism Of A Military Dreamer,
They Took No More Heed Of Their
Life Than Of The Wind Which Blew
Out The Long Locks Of Their Hair--
No More Thought Of The Future
Than If God Were Liberty And
Death But A Going To God. As
Soldiers Under Fire, Their Conscience
Told Them That It Was Their Duty
To Die At Any Time, (And They Did!)
