| Unknown Soldier | 6 April 1865 | [This unknown soldier was found wounded and dying alongside an old road near the Byars cemetery that later became U.S. 58. Because of the animosities between the north and south, local people would not allow him to be buried in any of their cemeteries. Being apprized of the situation, William D. Baldwin said he could be buried in his land. This was the first interment in this cemetery and grave was marked with a field stone until 1978, when the Veterans Administration provided a grave marker designating him as an Unknown Soldier of the Confederate States of America. Since then I have been told he was a Union soldier, which would make more sense. In 1898 William D. Baldwin was buried here and the cemetery became known as the Wm. D. Baldwin Cemetery.] | |
