Article by Thompson in the Wisconsin Magazine of History, Autumn 2008, Vol. 92, Issue 1, page 14.
Alice Whiting Waterman was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in 1820 and moved to New York City at age ten. In 1868, she moved to Madison, Wisconsin, and tended to the graves in Confederate Rest until her death in 1897.
In 1906, the UDC erected a monument to her for her many years of service to Confederate dead.
