The headstones in this cemetery give nothing but the name of the soldier and (usually) his state. But Augusta was on the main rail line connecting the eastern and the western theaters. Also, during the fighting around Atlanta in 1864, many of the wounded and sick were shipped to hospitals along the railroad.

A handful of the original markers have ben replaced by VA-issued markers, and those genrallly ahve a date (or year) of death. From those, it does not appear that the burials were made in chronological order. About the only safe guess is that he died in an Auggusta hospital, or was taken off the train dying.

I have not tried to access the Swexton's records for Magnolia, and perhaps those might give some clues.
