Confederate Cemetery at Appomattox. This little cemetery contains the graves of 19 soldiers (18 Confederate and 1 Union) who were killed in the last days of fighting at Appomattox Station and Appomattox Court House. On May 18, 1866, a Ladies Association was formed to insure proper internment for soldiers who had not had proper burials. The land for this cemetery was donated by Mr. John Sear and the land clearing began. Most of the wood for the coffins was donated and men from the town of Appomattox constructed them and dug the graves.
