Some new additions to our ever-growing collection of photographs. The first two, I was very disappointed with the upkeep of the cemetery in Frankfort. I tried to clean up the areas the best I could.

I haven't seen Early's before, that I remember anyway. That's a really a nice monument.

A team effort. It was a pleasant walk too.

So, what have they renamed the cemetery? It's sad what the carpetbaggers and scalawags have done to Lexington.

Yes, it is very sad.

I've noticed that on several of the VA headstones over Confederate generals like Baker in the previous post, Savannah's Hugh Mercer pictured earlier, and and Mississippi's Benjamin Humphreys in the Port Gibson Cemetery above their correct rank is stated but also the infantry regiment they began the war commanding. That seems like it will definitely cause confusion for later genealogists who won't know any better! Although already posted in this thread, the cemetery is also the location of the grave of Earl Van Dorn below, who for some reason has both a VA as well as a civilian headstone:

Gen. Van Dorn was first buried in his wife's family cemetery. At the time he died, the Godbold family owned a large plantation near Mt. Vernon in Washington County, Al. near the Tombigbee River. The Godbold and related families began burials in 1863, so he may have been one of the first.
This original cemetery was apparently closed by 1938, and a process of re-interments began in 2007.
Find a Grave volunteer Larry Bell photographed this "new" cemetery in 2012. Here are his photos. The FAG memorial # is 2305856 :

In forefront is his wife, Caroline Godbold. The marker next to her has this:

Apparently, his family moved him before the original cemetery was closed in 1938.
Their daughter, Olivia is also buried here. Olivia, who died at age 25, was Capt. Frank Lumsden's first wife…

Both of these were taken Sept 22 whilst passing through Utah.
Both are buried at Aultorest Memorial Park, Ogden, Utah.

BVT Major Gen. Robert Horatio George Minty.
(1831 -1906) aged 74
Civil War Union Brevet Major General. He was commissioned as Major of the 2nd Michigan Volunteer Cavalry on October 2, 1862, but held that duty for only a month before he was transferred to the 3nd Michigan Volunteer Cavalry and promoted to Lieutenant Colonel. His time with the new regiment was again relatively brief, for in March 1862 he was given the task of recruiting another regiment that would become the 4th Michigan Volunteer Cavalry. Promoted to Colonel and officially given command of the unit on July 21, 1862, he led it as if fought in Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia and the Carolinas, taking part in the Battles of Chickamauga and Atlanta. Colonel Minty was brevetted Brigadier General, US Volunteers and Major General, US Volunteers on March 13, 1865 for "gallant and meritorious services during the war". Men under his command were the ones that captured fleeing Confederate President Jefferson F. Davis at Irwinsville, Georgia on May 9, 1865. Robert Minty was honorably mustered out on April 15, 1865 at Nashville, Tennessee, and became a successful railroad executive in his post-war career.

Brig. Gen. Nathan Kimble.
(1822-1898) aged 75.

Civil War Union Brigadier General. Soon after the outbreak of the Civil War, Kimball became colonel of the 14th Indiana on June 7, 1861. Kimball was made a Brigadier General on April 16, 1862. In the summer of 1863 he commanded a division of the XVI corps in the siege of Vickburg. He also took part in the Atlanta Campaign first as a brigade then as a commander in the IV Corps. Kimball was brevetted Major General in 1865 and soon after the end of the war became state commander of the newly organized Grand Army Of The Republic, the American Legion of the day. In 1873 President Ulysses S. Grant appointed Kimball surveyor general of the Utah Territory where he thereafter made his home.
