The back side of the memorial has a listing of the Catawba County men who were killed during the Civil War from 1861 - 1865.
The only recorded incident of wartime military action in Catawba County, North Carolina occurred during the War Between the States, and a ceremony in Newton on June 3, 2009, rekindled memory of that fateful moment of history. Ransom-Sherrill Chapter 653 dedicated a new street-side marker commemorating the skirmish.
