Magnolia Cemetery is Charleston's oldest cemetery, originally founded in 1849 and officially dedicated the following year with an address by Charles Fraser.

Hunley. It is also the interment site for hundreds of Confederate Civil War soldiers, including Generals C.H. Stevens, James Conner, Arthur Manigault, Micah Jenkins, and Roswell Ripley.
