During the American Civil War, Calloway County saw 800 of its citizens serve in the Confederate Army. Only 200 served in the Union Army.〔 The monument was funded after a three-year fund raising drive by the J. N. Williams Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy (U.D.C) in 1917, whose chairman died during that period; her name was added to the monument in tribute. The U.D.C. paid $2,500 to Marietta, Georgia's McNeel Monument Company for the structure.〔〔Brent, Joseph. ''Confederate Monument in Murray NRHP Nomination Form'' (Kentucky Heritage Council, 1997) p.1〕
