This perfect setting of peace and honor is quite easily accessible, a new informative sign, and steps make it identifiable. Very early on in the war, when this place was still part of the state of Virginia, several Southern soldiers died, mostly of fever (probably typhoid) and were buried on this secluded hill. This cemetery had been lost for well over a hundred years except to neighboring families who knew of it’s existence. The cemetery was first cleaned in the 1990’s by a reenactor group led by Mike Sheets. A Tennessean searching for the grave of an ancestor sparked a team of concerned citizens who again in the summer of 2009 cleaned the cemetery of trees and brush.
