Raine Cemetery and Monument
Appomattox, United States
The 30-foot obelisk marks the Raine family cemetery. Erected in 1912 by C. Hunter Raine, the monument honors past family members, including C. Hunter’s father, Charles James Raine, who served as a captain in the Lee Battery of Virginia Artillery. Captain Raine was killed in action on November 30, 1863, near Mine Run – east of Culpeper, Virginia. A total of nine known graves are associated with the Raine Cemetery.<br><br>The Raine family’s only connection to the surrender is the McLean House – where the surrender meeting between Generals Lee and Grant occurred. John Raine built the brick house in 1848 and for a time ran it as a tavern. Wilmer McLean purchased the house in the fall of 1862.<br><br><b>Interred in the cemetery are:</b><br>Ann Eliza Raine<br>12/23/1848 to 8/10/1850<br><br>Charles Clifford Horner<br>1850 to 4/17/1851<br><br>Eliza D.
