Ohio has four memorials that relate to the Confederacy. In 1902, a monument was erected on the site of Camp Chase Confederate Cemetery, Columbus, where 2260 Confederate soldiers are buried. The Cincinnati Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy erected a monument on Johnson Island in Lake Erie, another Confederate prison site, in 1910. There is a bronze plaque in memory of Robert E. Lee in Franklin, Warren County. At the dedication in 1928, the Ohio director of highways accepted the plaque from the Ohio Division of the United Daughters of the Confederacy. The fourth Confederate site is the grave of Confederate Captain William C. Quantrill in Dover, Tuscarawas County. Quantrill died and was buried in Louisville, KY in 1865 but in 1887 his mother had his remains moved to the Fourth Street Cemetery in Dover, the family home. There are also a number of streets named after Confederate soldiers, particularly in Fairfield and Milford. www.splcenter.org/sites/default/files/whoseheritage_splc.pdf |
