Forest Hill Cemetery-- Part 3: Alice Waterman

Every Memorial Day, U.S.flags are placed on Union graves.  The flags of their state are placed on the graves of the Confederates.

One of those Confederate graves is not of a soldier as I mentioned in the last post.  It is the grave of Alice Waterman.  By her request, after her death in 1897, she was buried at Confederate Rest with the men she had never known in life, but whom she always referred to as "My Boys."
