Abstract:

The Kittrell Springs Hotel was transformed into a hospital for Confederate soldiers during the Civil War. Today the small Vance County town holds one of the few designated Confederate Cemeteries in the state. The graves of fifty-two soldiers who died at the hospital are individually marked, and their names are all listed in the church records, except for four \"unknown soldiers.\"
