A monument has existed for many years in
the Bardstown Cemetery for sixty-seven Confederate soldiers buried there
who died in the area, sixty-six in 1862 and one in 1863. Recently, smaller
headstones were placed in the burial area for those identified. Seventeen
soldiers still remain unknown. After stopping at the cemetery today for
the headstone listings, I did a very quick search at the library and found
that General Bragg's army fought several battles in the area of Bardstown
in 1862 against General Buell's Union forces. During September and
October, 1862, several battles were fought around Bardstown. The majority
of those listed at the cemetery died during this period. Please remember
that this was a quick search. Please also remember that many Confederate
soldiers are buried in other areas of Nelson County.
The main monument reads as follows (no date
of dedication listed):
"This monument is erected in the memory of the 67 brave men buried here,
who lost their lives in the service of the Confederate Government.
Lord God of Hosts be with us yet,
Lest we forget
Marble tells not of their valors' worth,
Nameless they rest in the earth
We care not whence they came,
Dear in their lifeless clay,
Whether unknown or known to fame,
Their cause and country still the same,
They died and wore the gray.
The headstones are placed around the main monument in
order of death. For the listing below, I've sorted them by surname. The
information shows surname, given name, company, unit (with State), CSA,
and date of death. Hope this helps someone.
