Confederate Soldiers
A survey of the old City Cemetery at St. John's Lutheran Church revealed the names of six Confederate soldiers from Cherryville. Although out of place time-wise, and perhaps incomplete, we felt their names should be included here.
| Michael Carpenter | Company B, 28th NC Infantry |
| J. Oliver Sisk | Company E, 6th NC Infantry |
| James W. Crowder | Company - unknown, no information on head stone. UDC grave marker. |
| John Dellinger | Company D, 55th NC Infantry |
| Robert G. Browne* | Company E, 12th Regiment, NC Infantry |
| Nelson Benedict George | Company C, 3rd SC Infantry First Corp., Northern army of VA. |
*Robert G. Browne
lived to be 99 years old and was at the time of his death, one of the
very few remaining Confederate veterans within Gaston County and the
State of NC. Robert served in Company E, 12th Regiment, NC Infantry.
The 12th fought (as part of the Army of Northern Virginia) at the Seven
Day's Battle, at Sharpsburg, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville,
Gettysburg, the
Wilderness, and Spotsylvania among others. Robert was wounded
twice at
the Battle of the Wilderness and again on September 19,1864 at
the
Battle of the Winchester but returned to the Army and was present
at
Appomattox. He was promoted to the rank of sergeant on January
14,
1864.
The above names recorded and reported to the Sons of Confederate Veterans (Grave Registration Department) May 13, 1997.
All of the above men are buried at the St. John's Lutheran Cemetery, Cherryville, N.C.

Carl Webb, "Hoover" Quinn, and David Carol Dellinger served during three different wars: WWII, Korea, and Vietnam
We pay special tribute to those who gave their lives in the service of their country. Thirty-five of Cherryville's fine young men, involved in four different wars, paid the ultimate price to preserve our freedom. We owe a monumental debt of gratitude to them and their families for their courage, dedication, and sacrifice.
As Mr. Robinson has said, it is spirit such as they displayed that has helped to make Cherryville a "great little city".
