Re: 63rd GA Infantry, Co. E - Celathiel Helms

Alan - I bought and read this book (very interesting), and looked at the CD listing of 18,000 patient names. Celathiel was not listed. The book states that several pages of the patient records for Fairground Hospital #2 are lost. Also, Ocmulgee Hospital was in Macon at that time. I may be able to find those records if they exist. The book indicates that there were many transfers of patients between hospitals depending on factors such as the medical condition of the patient, the number of beds available, etc. Medical records during major battles (e.g. Atlanta campaign) were not as accurate due to heavier influx of patients into the hospitals and because of the necessity for hospitals (e.g. Fairground hospitals #1 & #2) to move to safer territory. More Confederate soldiers died as a result of various diseases than from Yankee projectiles. Thanks..
