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 a temporary waysie hospital, The Barbee Wayside Hospital, formally the Barbee Hotel then the Bellvue Hotel, which was across the street from the train depot.

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. Pvt. Grant was listed on the Barbee Hosptial Register as having died April 25, 1865.
