The memorial is a marble obelisk, 7'8" tall, which is mounted on a three-tiered brick base that is 4'10" tall. It marks the grave site of 74 unknown Confederate Army soldiers, many of whom were killed in the 1863 Battle of Prairie D'Ane. The monument was raised by public subscription in 1888, and underwent restorative maintenance as recently as 1994.[2] The inscriptions read on the east, south, and north faces respectively:[2] CONFEDERATE DEAD 1861-65. THEY GAVE THEIR LIVES TO A CAUSE THAT WAS LOST THEIR SURVIVORS WILL NEVER SUFFER THEIR MEMORY TO PERISH. ERECTED BY OUR CITIZENS TO THE MEMORY OF THE CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS WHO DIED AT THIS POST DURING OUR LATE CIVIL WAR; FAR FROM HOME AND KINDRED ROSEBROUGH SONS ST. LOUIS
The monument was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.[1] See also
