The service will begin at 2:30 pm on Sunday afternoon. Activities will include period music, Confederate reenactors serving as a Honor Guard, a roll call of the 22 known Veterans of the Civil War buried there, a Magnolia Cemetery Historical segment, a speech by Compatriot Echols of DeSoto County and taps to close the service. Names of veterans buried at Magnolia include Avent, Bailey, Boone, Boyd, Callicott, Christy, Coleman, Daily, Dougherty, Eckles, Harris, Hawkins, Jackson, Perry, Presley, Prichard, Scott, and Sloan. Full names and Units in which they served will be listed on programs to be handed out at the service. Magnolia Cemetery was deeded to the town of Coldwater on May 3, 1882 by Matthew P. Sandidge who was himself a Veteran of the Civil War who had served in Co “I” of the 22nd Ms Infantry known as the DeSoto Brothers. The cemetery has the 2nd highest number of Confederate Soldier burials in Tate County surpassed only by Bethesda Cemetery in Senatobia where the service was held last year. The Sons of Confederate Veterans Camp in Tate County hopes to continue these services until all cemeteries containing Civil War burials in the county have been honored. Anyone having information of such burials in Tate County or questions relating to this pivotal conflict in the United States should write to the Sgt. Samuel J. House Camp # 837 of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, P.O. Box 122, Senatobia, Ms 38668. All Mississippians are invited to attend and show their respect for these our forefathers.
