Patrick R. Cleburne Confederate Cemetery, Military cemetery in Jonesboro, US.

Patrick R. Cleburne Confederate Cemetery is a memorial cemetery in Jonesboro, Georgia, named for General Patrick Cleburne. Its 712 headstones are patterned in the shape of the Confederate Flag, and the walkways form the letter X, with graves filling the triangles of the X.

After the 1864 Battle of Jonesboro, soldiers under Stephen D. Lee and William J. Hardee were buried as unknowns where they fell. In 1872 the Georgia General Assembly funded $1,000 to relocate and rebury them in one general area. Each grave was first marked with a tin marker, but these had disappeared by the 1930s.

The cemetery is named for General Patrick Cleburne. Since 1971 the Georgia Building Authority has maintained it as one of six Confederate cemeteries in the state. Each April 24 the United Daughters of the Confederacy and Sons of Confederate Veterans have held a Confederate Memorial Day ceremony here, with re-enactors in Confederate uniforms firing a 21-gun salute.

The cemetery lies at the corner of Johnson and McDonough Streets in Jonesboro and is open daily until dusk, so plan a daytime visit. It is one of six Confederate cemeteries maintained by the Georgia Building Authority. Walkways form an X, with graves filling the triangles between them.

Among hundreds of unmarked graves, only three headstones bear the names of soldiers: Agnatius Brooke, Robert Lindsay, and Abner Joel Yancey. These few identified graves stand out sharply against the vast majority of unnamed soldiers buried there.
