1. Confederate War Memorial

Inscription.
In memory of the
Confederate Dead

On Fames eternal camping ground
Their silent Tents are spread.
Rest on embalmed & sainted dead
Dear as the blood ye gave.

Nor shall your glory be forgot
While Fame her record keeps
Or honor points the hallowed spot
Where valor proudly sleeps.

Woman's record to the
Heroes
in the dust.

Erected 1868 by a Group of Fayetteville Women.
