More about this memorial. The monument is accompanied by four corner ground inlays engraved "C.S.A." that mark the burial area.
Regarding Texas Confederate Soldiers. The marker is the only indicator of the Confederate hospital burial area behind the churchyard. The church standing now was built in the 1920s, but its predecessor was used as a hospital during the Civil War while Longstreet campaigned around Suffolk and the Blackwater River.
