Originally the site of a pioneer cemetery, many early residents are buried here. In 1866, returned Confederate soldiers, under the leadership of Maj. William Hume and David Lawrence, collected and reinterred here the bodies of soldiers who fell at isolated places in the Beech Grove - Hoover's Gap engagement. June 24-26, 1863.

Marker can be reached from the intersection of Confederate Cemetery Road and Gossburg Rd (Highway 41), on the right when traveling west.
