Dedication of Confederate Monument, Rose Hill Cemetery, Ardmore, June 22, Noon
The Oklahoma Division of The Sons of Confederate Veterans is pleased to announce the dedication of a Monument to 190 Confederate Veterans buried in Rose Hill Cemetery in Ardmore. It will take place on Saturday June 22 at noon in the Confederate section at the North end of the cemetery.
Ardmore was the site of the Confederate home in Oklahoma and many of those residents are buried in this section. Oklahoma was one of the few states that allowed spouses to stay with their husbands and many of them are buried in the section as well.
Guest speaker for the occasion is Dr. Bob Blackburn, executive director of the Oklahoma Historical Society.
The Oklahoma Division has 21 camps across the state and over 300 members.
A tent, chairs, bottled water, and portable facilities will be furnished and attendees are encouraged to dress comfortably to deal with the hot temperatures expected.
There will be a special part of the event to honor the five tribes and their contributions to the Confederacy.
The public is invited.
