From the Richmond Dispatch, 3/6/1862, p. 2, c. 2

Vandalism. – Some unknown persons, lost to all sense of decency, went into Hollywood Cemetery, on Monday night last, and threw down, broke, and defaced several of the moral records placed by the hand of affection over the remains of the dead. Among the monuments thus treated was the one over the remains of Mrs. Dr. Geo. W. Briggs; two in the section of G. & A. Bargamin, and one over the remains of Roscoe B. Heath's child, besides several others, one or two of which were broken in several parts.
