33rd Burials at Confederate Cemetery in Chattanooga


In 1867, the bodies of 887 Confederates who died in Chattanooga, Tennessee, between January and May, 1863, were moved from graves in a flood prone area near the Tennessee River to higher ground. Many, if not all, of these men were wounded at Murfreesboro and taken to the hospital at Chattanooga where they later died. The wooden grave markers were still readable and their names were recorded by a Col. R. L. Watkins who prepared a list from which these names were taken.
