Located in Oakwood Cemetary in High Point, NC From 1863 thru 1865, over 5,000 wounded Confederate Soldiers were brought to High Point, NC by train and treated at the Barbee Hotel, a Wayside Hospital from 1863- to 1865. The Barbee Hotel was located directly across the street from the train depot in High Point, North Carolina.
Fifty of these soldiers were known to have died while at the hospital and were buried at various gravesites around the town.

It is unknown if they died of their actual wounds or of smallpox, which was in epidemic in the area at that time. About 10 years later, the bodies were all moved to the Oakwood Cemetary and marked accordingly.
