This cemetery originally served the settlement of Millville, laid out by Israel Nuñez, who operated a stage stop in the vicinity after the Civil War. Although he set aside land for the cemetery, it was not formally deeded until 1934 by J.O. Walker. The earliest marked gravesite is that of William Jacobs (d. 1879). The settlement of Millville became Stonewall in 1875, and the cemetery remained in active use until 1939. Burials resumed in 1966, and a cemetery association formed three years later. The site is a landmark of local history. (2002) (Marker No. 12866)
This is the only house General Jackson ever owned. It was from here that he left for the war in 1861. The General never returned as he was killed at Chancellorsville. After the war this house served as a hospital and today it has been restored and contains a number of the Jackson Family Artifacts.

@ Mananas National Battlefield Park
Manassas National Battlefield Park, located north of Manassas, in Prince William County, Virginia, preserves the site of two major American Civil War battles.
This is a bronze statue of Stonewall Jackson that marks one of his gravesites -- he actually has two. His corpse is buried at this site in Lexington, VA. His left arm is buried in a separate grave in Ellwood, VA. During the Battle of Chancellorsville as Stonewall Jackson was riding back to his lines in the darkness, friendly fire from a North Carolina troop caught the general in the arm. It was shattered beyond repair and was amputated at a field hospital, located at Wilderness Tavern, on May 3, 1863. Photo: February 2007
