Dedication Ceremony
Despite temperatures near 100 degrees, well over 100 people gathered to dedicate a monument to Confederate soldiers June 24 near Powerville in Peach County. The monument represents years of effort by the Lt. James T Woodward Camp 1399 of Warner Robins. In addition to the monument, the ceremony unveiled over 110 engraved memorial bricks naming a variety of Confederate veterans and the units they served.
Memorial bricks may be purchased for $25 and order forms are available on the Camp’s website: Memorial Brick Order Form
Camp Commander Chris Pritchett welcomed everyone and former Commander Dr. Ben Lowery offered the opening prayer. Officers of Camp 1399 unveiled the monument. Pastor John Weaver was the special speaker at the event and the musical group Simple Heritage provided the entertainment with Dixie, Bonnie Blue Flag and several other selections. Members of the 10th Georgia and 16th Georgia re-enactors provided the honor guard to post the colors and fire a rifle salute. Refreshments were served after the closing prayer.
Both the Houston Home Journal and The Macon Telegraph published stories on the event the following week.
