Hello,
Please note, this is not connected to my own ancestry, but was posted on the
Guilford Co NC mailing list. Note the list of dead soldiers, a George
Campbell of Georgia.
Best regards,

A WAYSIDE HOSPITAL by Mrs. J.S. Welborn, High Point, N.C.
High Point, N.C., was only a village at the time of the War Between the
States, but it played no small part in the affairs of the Confederacy. On
Sept. 1, 1863, what was known then as the Barbee Hotel was converted into
a Wayside hospital....
As the patients became able to be moved, they were sent on to the
general hospitals either in Goldsboro or Richmond or Petersburg. Only 50
are known to have died in this local hospital all of whom are buried in
the northeast corner of Oakwwod Cemetery, and their graves are marked with
neat marble headstones, giving names and records of practically every one.
A list is here given with the idea in view that perhaps some loved one may
be located by this list: { I have posted the names from the Carolina's
mostly}.

There are four soldiers buried in that quiet spot whose names are
unknown, but High Point citizens honored the memory by placing a marble
slab above each resting place and on Memorial Day every soldier grave is
remembered.
