Regarding Cannon County Confederate Monument. Another marker in Woodbury provides context as to the placement of this monument:
A January 1863 skirmish on Woodbury's western side pitted Confederate Col. John B. Hutcheson's 2nd Kentucky Cavalry against four Union regiments in Col. William B. Hazen's command. Hutcheson had sworn, "I have on numerous occasions promised the people of Woodbury that no live Yankee should come into that town unless over my dead body, and I am going to keep my promise." Hutcheson died in the fighting.
Despite his vow, Hutcheson is interred in Elmwood Cemetery in his hometown of Springfield, Tenn.
