Guilford County, NC - Wayside Hospital

                         ~~~~~~~~~~

I wanted to share this article with those of you that are interested in
the Confederacy.

Confederate Veteran, dated March, 1930, page 95.

A WAYSIDE HOSPITAL by Mrs. J.S. Welborn, High Point, N.C.

   High Point, N.C., was only a village at the time of the War Between the 
States, but it played no small part in the affairs of the Confederacy. On 
Sept. 1, 1863, what was known then as the Barbee Hotel was converted into 
a Wayside hospital....
    As the patients became able to be moved, they were sent on to the general 
hospitals either in Goldsboro or Richmond or Petersburg. Only 50 are known to 
have died in this local hospital all of whom are buried in the northeast corner 
of Oakwwod Cemetery, and their graves are marked with neat marble headstones, 
giving names and records of practically every one. A list is here given with 
the idea in view that perhaps some loved one may be located by this list: {I 
have posted the names from the Carolina's mostly}.

   There are four soldiers buried in that quiet spot whose names are unknown, 
but High Point citizens honored the memory by placing a marble slab above each 
resting place and on Memorial Day every soldier grave is remembered.
