Confederate Dead
Cassville was the site of Confederate hospitals that were in service throughout most of the Civil War. Here are the graves of more than 340 Confederate soldiers. There are 347 (or 363 per another source) blank tombstones in 19 rows. Each row is headed with a standard Confederate VA vertical pointed shaft marker inscribed with the number of "Unknown Confederate Soldiers" in the row.
Captain Alex Winn Lieutenant Alex Costner, and W.M. Barrow have markers position in such a way that leads me to believe they were erected by family members that learned that their fate he resulted in their burial within their ground.
Positioned to the south of the graveyard is a tall memorial obelisk erected 1878 by the Ladies Memorial Association of Cassville.
