"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 County, Wisconsin, 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.
