Publisher Description: Elmwood Cemetery was established in 1852, making it the oldest active cemetery in Memphis, Tennessee. Amongst its 70,000 burials are more than 1,300 Confederate soldiers and veterans (including twenty-four generals). The majority of the burials are concentrated in a section known as the Confederate Soldiers Rest, but many others are interred throughout the cemetery. Several Union veterans are also buried here. |
