Confederate Dead GHM 141-12 Front of Cemetery, Miller St near Douglas St, LaGrange

About 300 Confederate Soldiers are buried here, most of whom died of wounds or disease in the several Confederate hospitals located in LaGrange. Most of these men served in the Confederate Army of Tennessee and participated in many bloody engagements. The hospitals here were the St. Marys, Oliver, _________, Law and some temporary ones. The "Nancy Harts" a militia organization of gallant Confederate women, assisted in nursing the sick and wounded as did other patriotic men and women of the vicinity.
