marking the graves of the Confederate soldiers killed on the battle-
field near Williamsburg. (S. B. 193.)

Approved March 20, 1916.

Whereas, many Confederate soldiers from all parts of this
State, as well as from the adjoining States Jost their lives urop
the battlefield at Fort Magruder, near Williamsburg, and their
bodies were buried in the cemetery at Williamsburg, and whose
graves have been neglected; and : :

Whereas, the Williamsburg chapter of the United Daughters
of the Confederacy have through their efforts already raised
partial funds for the purpose of permanently marking such
graves, but are without means to complete their undertaking;

Now, therefore, be it enacted by the general assembly of
Virginia, That the sum of five hundred ($500) dollars be, and
the same is hereby appropriated, to be paid out of any funds
of this Commonwealth not otherwise appropriated, said sum to
be paid over to the said Williamsburg chapter of the United
Daughters of the Confederacy, to be used for the purpose of
substantially and permanently marking the graves of such Con-
federate soldiers as were killed upon said battlefield.
