Edwin Hovey Private Co "B" 95th Infantry Died July 22, 1865 his original place of interment was Montgomery AL. He moved to Marietta and Atlanta National Cemetery Section L Grave #690. "Roll Of Honor" Volume 23 page 35The Marietta and Atlanta National Cemetery is located in the out skirts of the Village of Marietta, Georgia, in full view of the Kenesaw Mountain, twenty miles from Atlanta of the Western and Atlantic railroad. It covers twenty-four acres, and was donated to the United States by Henry G. Cole, of Marietta. The grounds rises gradually from all sides, and the summit near the center of the cemetery commands an extensive view of the surrounding country. It is beautifully laid out in sections, and is intersected with winding walks and avenues.From the summit now daily floats the national ensign,and around it lie in solemn repose, nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-four Union dead, whose remains have been gathered from all the battle-fields and hospital grounds of Sherman's advance upon Atlanta, from the banks of the Oostanaula, at Resaca, to Jonesboro, below Atlanta, and east to Augusta. The dead from Central Alabama, first collected and interred at Montgomery, have been transferred to this cemetery. Here sleep those who fell with McPherson at Atlanta, with Harker at Kenesaw, on the fields of Peachtree Creek, and in the forest of New Hope Church; and here, too lie those martyr heroes who so freely sacrificed their lives on the heights of Allatoona.
