That was for the old soldiers. I'm trying to find the pictures I have from quite a few years ago when Dixie and I went. Boy, the Reverend was a die hard Southerner and there was no doubt about it after hearing his sermon!:) I visited the women's home before the last few were illegally moved and it was just beautiful. Like going back in time. I could have stayed all day conversing with the daughters.
