J.W. Ashworth is one of many thousands of both known and unknown CSA Soldiers who were shown lasting respect, and allowed peaceful eternal rest in the Hollywood Confederate Cemetery
Brief Confederate Cemetery History:
In 1869 The Confederate Monument shown on the book cover at right was made possible by the Hollywood Ladies Memorial Association. This monument is said to contain names of Confederate Dead who are buried at Hollywood. Even though the monument was built with prisoner labor and the stone came from the nearby James River, the cost of the monument was well over $25,000.
Hollywood Cemetery in 1863 Richmond, VA., had grown to become one of the largest cemeteries for Civil War military interments. Because of the huge amount of Confederate Soldiers being buried in one certain area of the cemetery this part became known as the Confederate Section.
In 1865 – All of Hollywood’s records, kept at the treasurer’s office in Richmond, were burned as fleeing Confederates set fire to the city.
The Hollywood Ladies Memorial Association was founded in 1866 to care for the graves of Confederate soldiers. They were responsible for reburying an estimated 7,000 bodies from the Gettysburg battlefield to this Cemetery.
During 1872-1873 Remains of Confederate dead from the battle of Gettysburg were reinterred in Hollywood Cemetery The dead arrived in six shipments, by steamship. The bodies were buried on a small knoll in the Soldiers’ Section, known now as Gettysburg Hill.
2003 witnessed the force of Hurricane Isabel that uprooted trees which blocked all inner cemetery roads and caused monuments and tombstones to topple over. The cleanup cost was over a million dollars.
In 2006, a Confederate Jewish Civil War soldiers monument was dedicated in the Soldiers’ Section.
