Macon Weekly Telegraph August 6, 1866

[Typed as written]

Liberty Hill, Pike Co., Ga.
August 1st, 1866

Messrs. Editors Telegraph: Pursuant to previous notice, the citizens of this 
section assembled at the Confederate grave yard this day, which is near 
Milner, Georgia, for the purpose of paying a suitable tribute of respect to 
those noble heroic martyrs who shed their blood in defense of Constitutional 
liberty. Their graves were enclosed, the sod which had been trodden down 
replaced, &c. There was a number of the fairest of the fair who animated the 
sterner sex to a discharge of their duty, and furnished them with a sumptuous 
dinner. All that were present did their duty cheerfully, and proved 
conclusively by their works that they yet cherished a high regard for those 
fallen braves whose remains lie mouldering in a distant land far from kindred. 
There are eighty nine buried there, but from the names of some being defaced 
and obliterated, I could only make out correctly the names of seventy, which I 
send you for publication. The Griffin Herald, Atlanta Era, Nashville Gazette, 
Memphis Appeal, Louisville Courier, Montgomery Mail, and Jackson 
Mississippian, will please copy. - H. Clay Alexander.
