Chap. 373.—An ACT to make an appropriation to the Johnson’s Island Con-
federate cemetery commission of Ohio to aid said Confederate cemetery com-
mission in its noble work of caring for the graves of Virginia soldiers buried
at Johnson’s Island and Camp Chase.

Approved March 14, 1908.

Be it known to all Virginia that the noble people composing the
Johnson’s Island Confederate cemetery commission, in whose “advisory
board” we find such well-known and patriotic men as Colonel Joseph
Bryan and Reverend J. William Jones, of Richmond, and Generals
Duke, Wright, and Van Zandt, of the South, have for years, as a work
of love, cared for the graves of the hundreds of our Confederate soldier
boys who died at Camp Chase and Johnson’s Island, and have es-
tablished a “cemetery” within which rests the remains of these sons
of the South, and have paid fifteen hundred dollars for a*bronze monu-
ment, by Artist Hzekiel, of Virginia, to be placed at said cemetery, in
honor of our dead; therefore,

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That the sum of
three hundred dollars be, and is hereby, appropriated out of any money
in the State treasury, not otherwise appropriated, to be paid upon the
order of the governor of Virginia, upon the warrant of the auditor
of the State, for the benefit of, and to be paid to, the aforesaid Johnson’s
Island Confederate cemetery commission, headquarters at Cincinnati,
Ohio, through the duly authorized secretary of said commission.
