 CONFEDERATE DEAD Marker
 More than 200 soldiers from every Confederate state 
are buried in two separate plots in Linwood Cemetery.
 Many of these men died in several Confederate 
hospitals located in Columbus 1862-1865. Numbers
fell in the battle here Easter Sunday, April 16, 1865,
between less than 2000 soldiers and citzens, hastily 
organized for the defense of Columbus, and 4000 of
WILSON'S RAIDERs, dismounted for the attack. This was 
the last battle of the War between the States east of 
the Mississippi River. 
 Brigadier General HENRY L. BENNING (1814-1875), called
"The Old Rock" for his coolness and daring under fire, is
buried here. He fought with great distinction through
the Virginia Campaigne and finally commanded his own,
Benning's Brigade, known as "The Rock Bridage". Fort
Benning was named for him.
 John Dunlop, native of England, member of the crew of 
the Confederate Ironclad, "Virginia" (Merrimac) in the
historic fight of the Ironclad, May 8-9, 1862, is buried
here.
 Many other Confederate soldiers lie in private plots in
Linwood Cemetery.
