"The CSA dead from the Battle of Galveston were buried in the potters field of this cemetery. The exact location of the individual graves is no longer known. (There have been some terrible hurricanes). With one notable exception, Union dead have been reinterred in the US National Cemetery in Pineville, Louisiana."
The monument was dedicated by the Magruder Camp of the United Confederate Veterans (UCV) to honor their fallen comrades in the Battle of Galveston, January 1, 1863." (source below)
