Notes:  The Old Gravely Hill Cemetery was begun as the private family 
burying ground of the MILES PRICE family and located on the Miles Price 
homestead.  Miles Price was a Confederate veteran who  gave the burial 
plot to the family of any other Confederate veteran which desired it.  
Twenty-three Confederate veterans, one Civil War veteran with Union 
Forces, five World War I veterans, and two Spanish-American War veterans 
are buried here.  The earliest marker is that of J.D. Carmichel, who died 
December 15, 1862.  

The inscriptions listed below are all from the markers in the Gravely 
Hills section of the Riverside Memorial Park Cemetery, which was opened 
in 1931, and is located at 7242 Normandy Boulevard, Jacksonville, Florida.
