April is Confederate History month in Tennessee. During that month in 1862, the Battle of Shiloh was fought in West Tennessee. With this bloody battle came the realization the War Between the States would bring unprecedented human suffering. The War also ended in April with the surrender of General Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia in 1865. To recognize Confederate History Month and local Confederate Veterans, the Savage-Goodner Camp 1513 of the Sons of Confederate Veterans is dedicating a memorial to Confederate Veterans interred at Mt. Holly Cemetery, 1800 Allens Ferry Road, Smithville, Tennessee (near Elizabeth Chapel Baptist Church) on Thursday, April 13, 2023 at 6:30 p.m. A brief ceremony at the cemetery with military and civilian reenactors will accompany the unveiling of a memorial sign containing the names of the Confederate Veterans buried in Mt. Holly Cemetery.
The public is invited to attend and witness this ceremony.
