Captain Sally L. Tompkins
C.S.A.
Born at Poplar Grove, Mathews Co., VA

In grateful appreciation of her
services in maintaining the Roberston
Hospital at Richmond, VA, from 1861
to 1865, where 1,300 soldiers were
tenderly cared for, this memorial
is erected by the Confederate
Veterans, and United Daughters of

Davis gave her a commission as Captain
of Cavalry unassigned in order that
because of its valuable work in
restoring so many men to the army,
this hospital should be under
Government supervision.
