CONFEDERATE SECTION OAK HILL CEMETERY NEWNAN,GEORGIA

Historical Plaque:

Here are buried 268 Confederate Soldiers most of whom died
of wounds or disease in the several Confederate Hospitals
located in Newman.  Some were killed in the battle fought
south of here, 30 Jul 1864: Due to the efficiency of the
local hospitals, only two are "Unknown".  Most of these men
were veterans of many hard fought battles.  Every state in
the Confederacy is represented in these burials.  Also, buried
here are two Revolutionary War Soldiers, and one from the First 
World War.
