This is the only image of the site I could find on Commons. As the most (in)famous interment he probably deserves a mention. I visited last year and took some pictures of the lion sculpture and chapel, but apparently forgot to upload them and they’ve since misplaced. I will keep looking.

ALT1:... that a chapel on the grounds of Confederate Memorial State Historic Site was historically used for both religious services and the production of alcohol? Source 3 in the text

@Srich32977: - I've manually changed back your change in the inscription of "IN MEMORIAM -- OUR CONFEDERATE DEAD" to one with an endash back to the two hypens version. The cited source uses two hyphens, so source-text integrity is probably a bigger priority than MOS:DASH here. Hog FarmTalk15:18, 17 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
@Hog Farm: Well, per a photo of the actual monument we don't see any puncutation, so I've replaced the hyphens with non-breaking spaces. The editing question for the cited source was what to use to convey a new line in the monument inscription, vs conveying it in a sentence. I hope this works out as a small improvement in this excellent article. Thanks. – S. Rich (talk) 16:27, 17 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
