Hi, I noticed the answers to your query about the cemetery.
Along with the cemeteries that Joe Trainor mentions, there is also a road that goes to the top of a ridge or hill.The road goes through Maple Hill, if I remeber correctly.Anyway at the top of that hill or ridge is the Confederate Cemetery.In order to see the river that is your best vantage point because it is the highest point.There is a very tall monument right at the center dedicated to the Confederate soldiers and other soldiers who died there.
So your relative is correct about the Confederate Cemetery and Joe is correct about Maple Hill, and the other two as well.They are all located in the same general vicinity, and you are right, it is a very busy location and it is in the oldest part of Helena.Helena is my home town and I have been there many times.
