Description:
'Looking S.W. My view is taken from near the entrance gate. In the foreground are the tops of he flowers of the beds kept by the wife of the officer in charge. The lodge is just out of sight on my left. Everything is kept in the neatest order, the turf close cut and very thick and green. On various mounds are placed cannon as monuments like the one on the right. There are 4430 soldiers buried here. In the center of the cemetery stands a fine "soldiers monument." The Conf. cemetery lies next to this one with only a lane between. A wall of dressed stone surrounds the cemetery concealed on the inside by a thick hedge. 105.D.(63); July 31, 1884, Thursday 11:45 am, cloudy'
