Both members of the General James H. McBride Camp 632 Sons of the Confederate Veterans and admirers of history, (left to right) Dale Wrenn and Rick Perry dedicated numerous hours honoring their ancestors who fought in the Civil War. Using dowsing rods, and official documented reports from the skirmish, Wrenn located the grave site. With the help of Perry, the two repurposed a headstone donated by the Springfield Veterans Cemetery to honor the fallen soldiers. Exactly 160 years to the day, the gentlemen, with the permission of the Coles, dedicated a memorial site to the fallen Confederate soldiers. The headstone inscription reads: At this spot lie the remains of four unknown Confederate soldiers killed on Oct. 20, 1862. When a confederate column under the command of Col. Caleb Dorset was attacked by a detachment of the 10th Illinois Calvary under the Command of Lt. Col James Stuart. |
