Confederate Dead
In order to locate these graves, members of the U.D.C. Chapter made a survey of Westview Cemetery, (Moultrie). At the same time 200 other Colquitt County citizens canvassed 44 rural cemeteries. They secured information from gravestones of all men born prior to 1851. This was submitted to the Chairman of the Committee for marking Confederate Graves, who by using pension records, county histories, etc. was able to establish the Confederate Service Records of 175 men. Certification was also given for 20 others known to have served, but whose military records could not be located. (Since 1961, several of these missing records have been found.) In the "Roster of Confederate Soldiers", the notation "Iron Cross" indicates that one was placed on the grave of the veteran listed.
The Cross is Maltese (formed), 12 inches across, mounted on an 18-inch stake. It is made of iron, generally painted black, bearing on one side a garlanded Confederate flag and the letters C. S. A. on the other side the inscription Deo Vindice, 1861 – 1865. Deo Vindice "With God as my Avenger" It is placed at the foot of the grave of a Confederate Veteran.
