About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

The Battle of Dry Creek Memorial is located near the actual site of the August 26-27 1863 battle. The two day battle was fought between confederate forces under Col. George S. Patton and Union forces under command of General William W. Averell. After nearly two days fighting the union forces withdrew giving the confederate forces their first notable victory since Gettysburg. Capt. Von Konig is buried within the enclosed memorial. Von Konig was a German soldier and was siad to be not liked by his men. He was one of the first casualties of the battle and was buried beside the old James River and Kanawha Turnpike within the union lines. He remained there until the 1960s when due to the building of I64 his remains were removed to the present site.
