Col. Henry Wooldrige, who died in 1899,
was the person responsible for the famous
monuments. All were carved and placed on
the grounds before Mr. Wooldridge's death.
It has been said that the monuments cost
approximately $6,000. Col. Wooldridge is the
only person buried in the lot. His body is in
the stone vault in front of the statue. The
slab on top of the vault has a double-barreled
shotgun carved on it.
