Paul, this is the website for the Georgia Historical Society Book Store in Savannah. This particular book has
most of the soldiers buried at Laurel Grove Cemetery. The price of the book is $13.95.

This is a copy of a note I found in genealogy.com

I can give you two possible directions to pursue regarding the records of Laurel Grove Cemetery, Savannah, GA. Georgia Historical Society, Whitaker St., Savannah, GA has published a book entitled: "Laurel Grove Cemetery, Savannah, Georgia, Volume I, 12 Oct 1852 - 30 Nov 1861", compiled by the Genealogical Committee of Georgia Historical Society, Savannah, Georgia, Copyright 1993. They have a web site. I bought my copy of this book directly from them through the web site. The other suggestion that I can give to you would be for you to telephone the office at Laurel Grove Cemetery and speak with them. I have many ancestors buried in Laurel Grove Cemetery which dates back to 1852. I have obtained lists of who is buried in various old burial lots from the Laurel Grove Cemetery Office. There will be a small cost to obtaining the printed lists of the people who are buried in the old burial lots. You may wish to call and speak with someone at the Georgia Historical Society in Savannah.

There is basically One Cemetery with two names. The North Cemetery (established in 1853) and the South Cemetery. The north cemetery is the original cemetery for whites and a companion burial ground (North) was reserved for slaves and free people of color. The original cemetery has a large amount of graves of Confederalt veterans of the Civil War.

As of now, the only way I know of to obtain a complete list of who is buried there is to buy the book or call the
Cemetery Office. Sorry I don't have that number for you.

Candler Hospital was the only hospital in existance at the time of the CW. You could try to contact their PR office. Or you might try the Sister's of Mercy. I'm not sure if they are still in existance, but it's worth a try.

Good Luck,
Liz
