LOWNDES COUNTY

This county has no Confederate cemetery, but during the war a part of the Odd Fellows’ cemetery in the city of Columbus was set apart for the burial of Conferdate soldiers, and the remains of about eighteen hundred are resting there now. The records were lost and, therefore, it is impossible to give all the names. The wounded were sent there from the battlefields of Shiloh, Corinth, Harrisburg and other engagements of General Forrest. There are two Confederate monuments within the enclosure.

I believe this maybe the Friendship Cemetery previously noted.
