Unknown Confederate Dead

Here sleep, known but to God, approximately one hundred and fifty Confederate solders, most of whom died from disease, or wounds in the Confederate hospitals that were located near this spot. Some where killed in a skirmish with Federal raiders near here on July 19, 1864.

Although Federal troops raided and burned part of this city, Confederate hospitals were not molested. Brave and gallant Confederate women rendered valuable aid in caring for soldiers in Confederate hospitals here and elsewhere. 044-42A

Presley enlisted in 1861 Murphy’s Guards of Wrights Legion. This company became  Company D of the 38th Georgia. He was captured at Fredericksburg and paroled for exchange change. He was killed in action at Spotsylvania Court House in Virginia on May 12, 1864.

His grave site is unknown and his name isn't recorded among the confederate dead buried in the Spotsylvania Confederate Cemetery.
