In the cemetery the soldier and stranger is not only shown the
almost obliterated slab beneath which rests the remains of
General Phillips, who died May, 1781, during the war of
independence, but also the monument, erected to the memory
of the brave volunteers from the "Cockade City," who left
houses and friends in the war of 1812. During the siege the
edifice and its surroundings suffered but little damage from
shot or shell, although the position was in front of the point of
attack at the time of the explosion of the mine on the 30th
July, 1864.
