Forest Hill Cemetery: Alice Waterman

Her middle name was Whiting and she was born near the time Confederate General W.H.C. Whiting was born and I am wondering if perhaps she was the sister of the general.

I haven't found out much about her, however.  What I have found out:

ALICE WHITING WATERMAN  (Oct. 18, 1820-September 13, 1897)

Born Baton Rouge, Louisiana.  A marker for her was erected by the United Daughters of the Confederacy reading: "The patron saint of Confederate Rest.  Almost single-handedly restored the Confederate cemetery at Forest Hill.  A native of New Orleans, she found the tombstones in 1868 lying amid weeds and spent 30 years maintaining the plot, planting trees and hedges, and marking the graves.  When she died in 1897, she was buried their with "Her Boys."
