Memorial day - Sue Landon Vaughan decorations
Time: Wednesday Apr 26, 1865
Place: Jackson, Mississippi, U.S.
Details: On April 26, 1865, in Jackson, Mississippi, Sue Landon Vaughan supposedly decorated the graves of Confederate and Union soldiers.

Regardless, mention of the observance is inscribed on a southeast panel of the Confederate Monument in Jackson, erected in 1891.
