Note on the Confederate Soldier Marker: this stone is a contemporary addition to the Doggett section of the cemetery installed without the permission of the Doggett family apparently by someone affiliated with the Sons of Confederate Veterans, Kirby-Smith Camp #1209. The soldier marker includes a middle initial "H" which does not appear in any civilian or veteran records known to the Doggett family. The original memorial inscription made by the Doggett family is on the large family obelisk.
