FINNS POINT NATIONAL CEMETERY, NEAR SALEM.
This is the only place in this State where deceased Confederate prisoners of war were found to have been buried, the cemetery having been established as a burial place for those Confederate prisoners who died while being confined in the military prison and hospital at Fort Delaware, on Pea Patch Island in the Delaware River.
It was not possible to identify the individual graves of the Confederate dead in this cemetery in order that individual headstones might be placed at the head of each grave, but a central structure or monument was erected instead. This structure was built out of reinforced concrete with Pennsylvania white granite facing, and stands about 85 feet high. Around the base of this monument are eight bronze tablets, with concrete foundations, on which appear the names and commands of the 2,436 Confederate soldiers reported as having been buried in this cemetery.
The register for this cemetery shows 2,475 names, as follows:
Soldiers, 2,436; citizens, 36; and soldiers removed, 3.
The expenditures under this office in connection with the Confederate dead amount to $8,502.
