Old Gray Cemetery is proud to be a part of the Civil War Heritage
Trail. Significant military and civilian personnel associated with
both the Federal and Confederate governments and local industry are
buried within the thirteen acre site. The Horne monument with its
almost life-sized sculpture of a Confederate soldier marks the graves
of two Confederate veterans, William Asbury Horne (1845-1891), an
assistant quartermaster with the 42nd Georgia Infantry, and John
Fletcher Horne (1843-1906), who was a sergeant with the Kansas Bottom
Tennessee Artillery.
From the sample lists below you
can see that Old Gray is the final resting place for men on both
sides of the Civil War.
