i was told about this cemetery by an older gentleman that has lived in pleasant hill all his life. on my way to check out this old cemetery i was not expecting to find 2 confederate soilders buried in it's soil. i felt like a kid that had just walked into a candy store. i had found what i thought was a treasure, but somebody else had found it before i did. the underbrush had been kept down to a minamum and the lower limbs of the small trees had been cut back. the original markers that had been put down for the soilders by the C.S.A. are about 6"x6" or 8"x8". who ever found it before i did had paid for out of there own pocket 2 small plastic confederate flags and a more modern day headstone for these two men who fought for our country all those years ago.
