Dane County Madison, WI Forest Hills Cemetery Tombstone
Photos
This cemetery is very interesting. Many of the stones
"..are the confederate soldiers that died at Camp Randall
Prison during the civil war. Camp Randall was in Madison,
Dane CO., WI., and is the current site of Camp Randall
football stadium. Most if not all of the prisoners died of
disease. They are buried in Forest Hill cemetery in a
special section that was maintained by Alice WHITING
WATERMAN who secured the markers and tended the graves until
her death in 1897. She was buried with them upon her death."
They represent soldiers from AL, AR, TN and MS.
