IN MEMORIAM.
List Of soldiers belonging to the De-
ParIment of the Cumberland buried
at RinggOld, Resaeca, Big Shanty,
Marietta, Winnings Station and At
IanIR- .


EDITOR LEADER-Dear Sir-Having
recently received a large number of let
tiers making inquiry as to locality of the
graves of soldiers who died or were
brought to the General Field Hospital,
Department of the Cumberland, for in
terment during the Atlanta campaign, and
thinking it a matter of general public in
terest, and of especial interest to the
friends of our fallen heroes, 1 have, as well
as 1 could, prepared Il list of the deceased
soldiers, with date of death, rank, regi-
ment, company and number of grave, who
were inferred in the cemeteries of the
General Field Hospital while located
at Ringgold, Resacca, Big Shanty, Mariet-
Ia, Winnings Station, and Atlanta, Ga.
Enclosed, please find the list, as taken
from the Hospital records at Winnings Sta
ton, which, l think, is correct, and which
1 would ask you to publish in full. l
would also extend the request to your ex-
changes to publish such names as may be
connected with commands that were or
ganized within the territory of their re-
spectIve calculations.
This will enable those who are anxious
to know exactly where the remains OF their
friends and relatives are buried. The bu-
rial ground at Winnings Station, Ga, is
situate about Is rods east and a little to the
south of the railroad station. The spot
selected is on an eminence of ground and
is well located for that purpose, and en-
closed by a neat rustic fence, entered by
two gates, one from the north and one
from thesouth. A little to the east and
south Of the burial ground is a fertilization
which received the ominous name "Fort
Saw-Bones" from the cOnvaleseentsoldier
who erected it for the defense of the Hos
pital, as it was at times exposed to raids
from the enemy. The graves are laid out
in rows, about two feet apart, running
north and south, and at intervals of eight
feet. The mounds were nicely mOunded
up, and their bases encircled by a
wreath or oblong ring, made of white
limestone, broken to proper sized trag-
ments for that purpose. The cemetery,
if undisturbed, will present a very neat,
tidy appearance. 1t was certainly the
best we could do with the appliances we
had at hand to adorn a spot SO sacred to
our country and the broken family circles
at so MANY homes scattered here and there
over the vast territory of the Northern
States. Peace be to the ashes of the vic
tins who placed and lost their lives upon
their countrys altar and found a resting
place in this sacred spot.
All the soldiers were buried in their
uniforms. The graves were we'll mark
ed upon a plank h~ead-board, painted
white, giving name, rank, regiment and
company also thenumber of grave in black
letters. By publishing the inclosed list
you will, undoubtedly, much oblige
many anxious friends. 1 will forward
at my earliest convenience a description
of burial grounds and similar lists of
those buried at Resacca, Big Shanty,
Marietta and Atlanta.
1 have the honor to be, very respect
fully, your obedient servant
NJ. @. WooDwoRTH.
