Lakeside Cemetery in Port Huron, Michigan was first established in 1877.

Both installations were on the west bank of the St. Clair River approximately two miles South of the cemetery.

This lot is overseen by the "Great Lakes National Cemetery" organization.

The monument was built by Philo Truesdell from the Port Huron Marble and Granite Works.

A statue of marble showing a Union soldier attired in Civil war uniform stands atop the column.
