Confederate Civil War Monument

During the Civil War, one thousand men from Marlboro formed ten companies and entered Confederate service, fighting at Manassas, Malvern Hill, Sharpsburg, Chancellorsville, Chickamauga, the Wilderness, Morris Island, Cold Harbor, Petersburg, Gettysburg, Franklin, Bentonville, Trevillian, and other battlefields. Marlboro lost 303 sons through combat, imprisonment, and disease, and those who survived were honored for returning to resume their duties as true and loyal citizens. In 1907, their memory was held in enduring remembrance as Confederate dead and as men whose valor and sacrifice were linked with calls for peace, forgiveness, and eternal love.
