The battle of manassas or bull run was the first battle of the american civil war. One of the people buried here was mrs. henry who was the first civilian death of the war. She refused to leave her house owing to her age even though her family tried to get her out. A confederate sniper took up a position in the house and started to fire upon union troops. Union cannons returned fire killing both the sniper and mrs henry.
