List of Those Who Sleep at Win
chester, Virginia.
IN GRAVES YET UNMARKED
An Appeal From Secretary of
State Cooke.
TO THE PEOPLE or THE STATE
And TO All Who Hold the Lost Cause
Dear 10 Help Erect Permanent and
Suitable Headstones to
Their Graves.

| OF the Confederate soldiers VINO lie
| buried at Winchester, Va, the graves
| of nearly all from the States other
than North Carolina are marked by
suitable headstones. There are four
/ hundred and forty-eight graves of our
| North Carolina soldiers which are
unmarked, save by pine boards, on
| which are inscribed in most cases
and where ever the facts are known
| the name, company and regiment.
| These boards were furnished by the
| pious, patriotic women of Winches-
ter, for the purpose of identifying the
graves, and in anticipation that they
would be replaced by monuments OF
more enduring form. These are de-
caying, and the time has come, if we
would save the resting places of our
dead patriots from oblivion, that we
should mark them by proper head
stones
The Rev. James Battle Averett, who,
during the war and for many years
thereafter. had his home in Winches-
ter, and his good wife, a native of
Manchester, have interested them
selves in this matter and have pro-
cured for us the names of the Confed-
GIttj6 SOiti1cIS WHO dIS buIICd bU w LII
chester. A list of these is published
below.
1t will only cost three dollars and
suitable marble headstones, with the
proper inscriptions thereon. Ii viii be
seen from the list that nearly every
North Carolina regiment that was in
General Lees Army has some repre-
I ,f.s4s ha
the headstones shall be provided by
the following plan: Let every person
who will help in this work, instead of
making contributions generally pay for
one or more stones. If it shall happen
in looking over the list that some shall
prefer to purchase a stone for some
particular soldier, that may be done.
with the understanding that should
two or more make the same selection,
the one giving the first advice thereof
would have the selection and the con-
tributions of the others would go into
the general fund.
Mr.. Il. r. Jerman, principal clerk in
the Auditors Office at Raleigh, has
kindly consented to receive and hold
the contributions until the work shall
be accomplished. Let every one who
viii pay $3.50 for stone, or who will
pay at that rate for several stones,
land / doubt not there are quite a
number who will purchase several),
send the money at once to Mr.. Jerman.
/ appeal to the people of the State,
and especially to the old soldiers, for
! realize that upon them the scheme
depends for success, to respond
promptly and literally.
Veteran comrades these be our
brothers.
