General John B. Wyman, the heroic leader of the Thirteenth Illinois Infantry, lies in a quiet spot, marked by a handsome base, surmounted by a column. He fell at Chickacaw Bayou. Wreaths were hung on small pillars at the corners of the plat and the monument of the Veteran Relief Association, described above, was placed in front of the grave.
