Confederate Soldiers Buried in Confederate Plot at Rose Hill Cemetery in Columbia, Maury County, Tennessee. Following is a list of Confederate soldiers buried within a special plot designated for Confederate burials in Rose Hill Cemetery. The plot is marked with a large statue of a Confederate soldier dedicated to the "fallen heroes" of the War Between the States. The monument is unique because such memorials were usually erected on Courthouse squares and because this is the only statue of a Confederate soldier at Funeral Parade Rest in the state of Tennessee.
