STATE UNKNOWN,

  Bethune,  W Graham.

    In addition to the above 175 unmarked graves
have been discovered.

    The "Ladies Memorial Association of Resaca,"
would feel much indebted to the friends and
comrades of these soldiers,  if they would des-
cribe the locality where any one of them is bu-
ried, so that it may be identified.  By this means
some graves may be marked in our Cemetery,
that would otherwise be closed in that mournful
number -- unknown.

    The Association proposes collecting the bodies
of all the Confederate soldiers, who fell at the bat-
tle of Resaca,  and having them interred in one
spot concercrated to their use.


    All who desire to remove the remains of their
friends to their own homes, will please inform the
society, and they will not be disturbed.

  Address--

                              Miss Mary J. Green,
                           Pr'sd't Mem. Ass'n, Resaca
