Confederate Soldiers and Sailors Buried at Crown Hill Cemetery, Lot 32, Rev *V, 12/2012: REDD, D. F(T).- Company D, Newman's Cav. Jan 29, 1964, AL
“The monument was originally at Greenlawn Cemetery, commissioned in 1912. It was a grave marker for Confederate soldiers who died while at Camp Morton — a Union prison in Indianapolis. It was moved to the Indianapolis Garfield Park in 1928. In 2017, it was determined that the monument should be removed and disassembled.
After the ending of the war and the closing of Camp Morton, all of the bodies at Camp Morton were exhumed and laid to rest at Greenlawn Cemetery. It was at this point that some bodies were taken home by family members, leaving 1,616 bodies in Indianapolis. Within five years the bodies would once again be exhumed and reburied in another section of Greenlawn Cemetery, and in the process the identity of each body would become a mystery. Even as a monument was placed with the graves to commemorate the dead by listing the name of each body buried in the cemetery.
Twenty years later with the threat of a railroad terminal being put through the cemetery, individuals and groups in Indianapolis petitioned to have the monument moved to a safer location. The local United Daughters of the Confederacy chapter, and the Southern Club of Indianapolis petitioned the United States Congress, receiving a $25,000 appropriation and the signature of then U.S. President Calvin Coolidge. The monument was moved to Garfield Park in Indianapolis, Indiana in 1928.
In 1931 the 1,616 remains would once again be exhumed, gathered into ten large boxes and reburied at Crown Hill Cemetery when Greenlawn closed permanently. Through this process each prisoner was moved at least twice, some three times. The individual identity of each man was lost in the process, becoming mere remains that belonged to a name on a list. When moved to Crown Hill, each set of remains were not placed wholly in one box, meaning that one man’s remains may be scattered through multiple boxes, and the mass grave (ten separate boxes) was marked with a small monument that noted the POWs as “Unknown.” It was the “unknown” that drove individuals to properly mark this gravesite years later.
