Chestnut Street Cemetery

This cemetery contains the remains of at least 76 Confederate soldiers and sailors, including local veterans such as the three

Raney brothers and William Orman, as well as veterans of Confederate units from other states such as Georgia, Texas, and Virginia.

A State Historical Marker at the cemetery states that seven of the Confederate soldiers buried here participated in the Battle of

Gettysburg as members of the Florida Brigade. The cemetery also contains the remains of Union veterans.
