Location of Lt. Azro A. Stoddard's grave site within the cemetary: locate the 40 Confederate markers on the right side of the cemetary along the right fence line (as if facing the historical marker). As you are walking toward the Confederate markers, Lt. Stoddard's grave will be in a small fenced in area on your left just about 15 yards before you reach the Confederate markers.
