This memorial was erected in the cemetery at Cassville, Georgia by the Ladies Memorial Association of Cassville in 1878. The memorial stands on the side of a hill overlooking the graves of 300 confederate soldiers who died in hospitals and other actions in the Cassville area during the time of the Affair at Cassville as it was called in 1864. Most if not all of the graves are simply headstones with unknown CSA soldier on them. The larger cemetery itself is a mixture of graves from before during and since the Civil War. There are still families in the area who try to maintain this cemetery and the monument. Several plaques and other monuments are in the area of this site. The United Daughters of the Confederacy has placed a visitors box at the base of the hill leading up to the monument and a bench also.
