The patron saint of Confederate Rest. Almost single-handedly restored the Confederate Cemetery at Forest Hill. A native of New Orleans she found the tombstones in 1868 lying amid weeds and spent 30 years restoring and maintaining the plot, planting trees and hedges, and marking the graves. When she died in 1897, she was buried there with "Her Boys".
