    Soldier"The Confederate Dead"Soldier

         After the battle of Antietam (Sharpsburg) several hospitals were established in our town for the reception of the Confederates who were wounded in that battle, and occasionally afterwards Confederate sick and wounded were left in this place. Many of them died and though no relatives or friends were near to attend them in their dying moments, still they were tenderly nursed and cared for by the ladies of the town, who ever true to the natural inclinations of their hearts and in accordance with their sympathy for suffering humanity, contributed to their wants while living and when dead had them decently interred, in a piece of ground near town, adjoining the M.E. Graveyard, set apart as a `burial place' for the Confederate dead, and their graves neatly sodded and distinctly marked with head boards, so that their friends should ever desire to remove their remains, there would be no difficulty in identifying the graves. "Tis consoling to the friends of the deceased to know that so much attention was paid to them while living and that their graves are now visited as a sacred spot, and many a time are the lines of that sweet poet repeated:

    "How sleep the brave who sink to rest,
    By all their country's wishes blest! "

    and how aptly and beautifully represented in the continuation of the little poem:

    "Spring decking the turfy sod;
    Fanny's feet treading upon the flowers there;
    Fairy hands ringing the knell;
    Unseen forms singing the dirge of martyred dead;
    Honor the old soldier coming on far pilgrimage to visit the shrine where his comrades lay to rest, & c."
         Moved by the same spirit of humanity and in obedience to the injunction, "Speak no ill of the dead", we have collected the names of the dead and publish them that their friends may know the fate of those they had not heard from perhaps for several years: ----

    Confederate Dead buried in a piece of ground near town, adjoining the M.E. Graveyard.
