Alabama Help

[boozie]

I'm looking for the grave of relative, Lt. Harmon Battle of Company D, 55 Tennessee Inf (Browns). He was with Quarles Brigade during the Atlanta Campaign, his service record states he is on a list of officers and soldiers who were killed in battle, or died of wounds or disease. It also states his place of death as Greensboro, Alabama on July 25,1864.

My question, was there a Confederate hospital there and is there a cemetery there with Confederate dead. I have looked on "Find a Grave" and other sources on the net. I have also referenced several books looking for a hospital there.

Thanks for any help.

Scott,

Consider giving the local library a call. I've found libraries can be very helpful in tracking down grave locations.

Hale County Public Library/Hale Co-Greensboro Library

Re: Alabama Help

There's more than one graveyard with Confederate dead right close in to Greensboro. Write the local ladies and find out what you can as to particularlocation--then I'll be glad to take a Sunday drive, do a little tending, and take some pictures for you,
