Confederate Circle Heroes
Evergreen Cemetery
Murfreesboro, Tennessee

Many thanks to Evergreen Cemetery and Stones River National Battlefield for this information.

Since our inception, Confederate Circle in Evergreen Cemetery has been the focal point for all memorial activities for Murfreesboro Camp #1355. We knew that the mass grave contained the remains of soldiers killed in the Battle of Murfreesboro and surrounding skirmishes, but little else was known. Recently, though, new information has surfaced that adds a new dimension to our pantheon of heroes.
An old cemetery record was discovered in the public library that details the history of the Old Confederate Cemetery and the subsequent removal of the dead to Evergreen Cemetery. The records indicate that the Old Cemetery was located one and one-half miles south of Murfreesboro (across from Samsonite Luggage Plant where the telephone sub-station is presently located.) Over two thousand bodies were removed from the Old Cemetery to Confederate Circle according to the December 7, 1867 edition of the Murfreesboro Monitor. On January 28, 1882, the Nashville Banner published a list of men whose names appeared on wooden markers in Confederate Circle. Since time has long since erased those markers, FIRST CALL is publishing the list of known buried in Evergreen Cemetery. Hopefully, this will not only be a memorial to these men, but may assist some compatriot in his search for his Confederate ancestor.
