DescriptionConfederate Memorial Romney WV 2015 06 08 01.jpg
English: The Confederate Memorial (also referred to as the First Confederate Memorial) at
Indian Mound Cemetery in
Romney, West Virginia, commemorates residents of
Hampshire County who died during the
American Civil War while fighting for the
Confederate States of America. It was sponsored by the Confederate Memorial Association, which formally dedicated the monument on September 26, 1867. The town of Romney has claimed that this is the first
memorial structure erected to memorialize the Confederate dead in the
United States and that the town conducted the nation's first public decoration of Confederate graves on June 1, 1866, although other towns dispute this. This photograph was taken on June 8, 2015 by
