Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Military grave marker for Major Rice E. Graves, Jr., erected on the anniversary of his death in 1996 by members of the General Ben Hardin Helm SCV Camp in the center of the Ringgold cemetery.
Little was recorded of Maj. Graves after the first night at the field hospital, but it is thought that he lived longer than hours after his wounding. Apparently he was still alive when Breckinridge's troops left the area or else his body would have been transported along with Gen. Helm to Atlanta for burial. There were several hospitals set up in the nearby town, Ringgold, and he most likely perished in one of them a day or two later. He was buried in the Citizen's Cemetery in Ringgold. Sadly, the exact burial location of Maj. Graves was lost through the years. |
