Confederate Cemetery

In this lonely spot lie the mortal remains of more than 100 unknown soldiers of the Confederacy. Most of them were wounded while defending the City of Atlanta against the overwhelming forces of General Sherman and died in an improvised hospital at nearby Milner. Their graves were marked with plain rocks for head and foot stones, and the Willie Hunt Smith Chapter No. 49 of the United Daughters of the Confederacy undertook to identify and mark each grave.
