"Tracey Bean" ============== Residence: Hall County, Georgia Occupation: Service Record: Enlisted as a Private on 08 May 1862 Enlisted in Company D, 56th Infantry Regiment Georgia on 15 May 1862. POW on 04 July 1863 at Vicksburg, MS Paroled on 08 July 1863 at Vicksburg, MS Died Company D, 56th Infantry Regiment Georgia on 15 December 1864 in Jonesboro, GA What was going on in Jonesboro in December 1864? ====Notes on possible locations of "field hospitals" in Jonesboro===== Mark Pollard 1) The big parking lot on the premises of the 1st Bapitist Church in Jonesboro. 2)The second field hospital was located on College Street, across the street from the same Church. 3) Camp Family Plantation located off Walt Stephens Road. There is some documentation of this site written by a former slave who belonged to the Camp family. 4)Near the old Jonesboro train depot, where wounded men were attended possibly the site of the current Patrick R. Cleburne Cemetery. This hospital site is not proven, although it makes sense because of the location of trains arriving from Atlanta and all other battlefields. Jonesboro was not in any danger while all of the earlier battles were going on.
