About Marietta Confederate Cemetery

Established in 1863, this was originally the resting place for 20 Confederate soldiers killed in a train wreck north of Marietta. Located in Land Lot 1290, District 16, the address is: Marietta Confederate Cemetery 381 Powder Springs Street Marietta, GA 30064

After the Civil War more than 3,000 Confederate soldiers who died elsewhere were recovered and reburied there. By 1902 their wooden markers had deteriorated, and many names were lost by that time. They were replaced with plain marble markers. Those names that are known are listed in: Cobb County Georgia Cemeteries, Vol. I, pages 352-361. [1]
