COL. SHEROD HUNTER CAMP 1525

SONS OF CONFEDERATE VETERANS

GRAVEMARKING AND MONUMENTS

We of the Colonel Sherod Hunter Camp 1525 are especially proud of our work to see that Arizona's Confederate Veterans are properly honored with appropriate monuments to their memory.  The Camp does research to locate the graves of Confederate Veterans in Arizona, and has marked some of their graves with markers provided by the Veterans Administration.   We have also erected an Arizona Confederate Veterans Monument at Greenwood Memory Lawn Cemetery, not only honouring the 21 veterans known to be buried there, but all of Arizona's Confederate Veterans.  Last but not least, we have

installed bronze Confederate Crosses of Honor on the graves of the Confederate Veterans buried at Pioneers' Military and Memorial Park Cemetery in Phoenix, and are currently raising funds to install

similar crosses on the graves of the veterans buried at Greenwood Memory Lawn Cemetery in Phoenix.

The stone was installed by Troy Groves of the Terry's Texas Rangers Association and the Brooks family, with assistance and advice from the Colonel Sherod Hunter Camp 1525.  The Confederate Iron Cross was installed by Camp 1525 at the foot of the grave.  The ceremony dedicating the stone and the cross were held in November 2002. 

ARIZONA CONFEDERATE VETERANS MONUMENT

GREENWOOD MEMORY LAWN CEMETERY

PHOENIX, ARIZONA

On April 24, 1999 the proudest moment to date of the Colonel Sherod Hunter Camp 1525 came as it dedicated it's ARIZONA CONFEDERATE VETERANS MONUMENT at Greenwood Memory Lawn Cemetery.  This monument, the culmination of five years of hard work by Camp members, honours not only the twenty veterans buried at said cemetery, but all of Arizona's Confederate Veterans, wherever they might be.  It is the only monument dedicated to the memory of Arizona's Confederate Veterans to have ever been raised by the Sons of Confederate Veterans in Arizona (the United Daughters of the Confederacy also has an Arizona Confederate Veterans Monument, located at Wesley Bolen Park, next to the State Capitol in Phoenix, Arizona).
