312:365 Memorial


312:365 Memorial
This is the Old Cassville Cemetery in Cassville, Georgia. There are about 300 unknown Confederate soldiers buried here who died of wounds or disease in several Confederate hospitals in Cassville. The hospitals were moved when Sherman’s forces invaded Cassville and the city was burned to the ground. Only one house a few buildings remained of what was a bustling community.
