The Atlanta Constitution, Atlanta, Georgia, August 6, 1887
Three Skeletons Exhumed 

A gentleman from Paulding county was in Atlanta yesterday. He stated to a 
reporter the facts of a strange occurrence. Mr. W.C. Mathews and several 
workmen were digging a grave in the burial yard of New Hope church. One of the 
men’s spades struck some bones at a depth of about a foot an a half. In a few 
minutes three skeletons were exhumed. It was agreed that the bones are those 
of confederate soldiers who were killed in the yard of New Hope church, where 
a battery was stationed. A battle was fought here in July 1864 and many 
soldiers bit the dust. The bones were given burial in another place.
