Charles Wills, an officer of the 103rd Illinois Infantry, describes the beauty of this cemetery in his memoirs, but also goes on to mention the destruction of the tombstones by the Union soldiers that were encamped in the town. In his memoirs, Wills talks of the 160 Confederate graves that bear no more than a little wooden marker on each grave, containing the initials of the soldier buried beneath it. Undoubtedly, these markers were used for firewood during the severe winter of 1863-64, and the names of the soldiers buried there have been lost to history. The cemetery still serves the resident families and descendants of former residents today.
