The last time I was in my hometown, the local SCV was sprucing up the memorial to the Confederate dead in the cities Willow Dale Cemetery.

Designed in 1853 by Colonel Charles Nelson, this historically significant cemetery features an 1883 Confederate Monument, which underneath lies the mass grave of 800 Confederate soldiers. See the resting place of Jarad K. White, a Texas soldier killed in 1865 while fighting with the Texas Calvary in northern Wayne County. White’s grave receives a Texas flag each year.

Confederate War Memorial in Salem, South Carolina, where I now live.
