Confederate Soldiers Buried at Willowdale Cemetery
Contributed by Richard E. Long (relong76@earthlink.net) January 2003 who says, "most of these men died in the hospital of wounds or disease and were temporarily buried and later, were gathered up and interred under the Confederate Monument. A very few are buried in individually marked graves."

Regardless of how these men who participated in the War for Southern Independence have been portrayed by historians, they were brave men who believed in God, loved their families, bled, and died. They did not want to die. Many of the men who returned home from the war, both the maimed and the whole, tried to return to a normal life. They are buried with their families in their family cemeteries scattered throughout the county.
