(April 2010) Enlarge Confederate Dead Memorial: The newer portion of the cemetery owes it's beautiful lay out to the Ladies Memorial Association, later known as the United Daughters of the Confederacy, led by Mrs. Elodie B. Todd-Dawson (half-sister to Mary Todd Lincoln). The ladies also deserve credit for the monument in the memorial circle which honors soldiers who died during the Civil War. It was erected at a cost of $5,500 and was paid for by the families of the soldiers listed on it's sides. One hundred and fifty-five soldiers were moved from other cemeteries to this circular section of the cemetery. Atop the monument stands a Confederate soldier. A man named Charlie Little donned his father's uniform and was the model for the statue. The UDC ladies also raised the money to build the cemetery's wall surrounding walls
