OF the total of 26,77i Confederatcs who

1920 were originally marked known,
and 6.S5i unknown" Whether 1t is still
possible TO identify the graves marked as

ably there would be some difficulty. The
graves Of those Confederates who died in
the hospitals of their towns and cities

army hospitals would be hard to find. and
in most cases must necessarily be marked
unknown. Most Of the thousands who
