More about this memorial. The monument was erected over a burial area for some 250+ Confederate soldiers killed during, or dying from wounds after, the Battle of Williamsburg. The cemetery itself began as a city land purchase in 1859; less than three years later the dead from the battle constituted the majority of burials in the new city cemetery. The monument was dedicated 5 May 1935 on the 73rd Anniversary of the battle.
