A brochure about the Old City Cemetery includes the following additional information:
"This area contains the graves of Union soldiers, believed to have been killed at the Battle of Natural Bridge. The battle took place in southern Leon County when an invasion by Federal troops was stopped by Confederate forces and local volunteers at the St. Marks River (March 5, 1864). The fighting resulted in 21 killed, 89 wounded, and 38 missing in action for the Union forces. Troops at Natural Bridge were black soldiers under the command of white officers. Recent research indicates that at least some of the bodies interred here were later moved to the National Cemetery in Beaufort, South Carolina."
