This church is now called Temple of Christ Pentecostal Church, corner of Cahaba Dr. and 1911 Venetian Dr. SW, Atlanta, GA, 30311. I have written the church with no luck so far. Is there anyone in the Atlanta area who would be willing to visit this cemetery and record the info. on each Confederate gravesite and post it on the internet?? These men died around August 1864 in the Battle of Utoy Creek. The church was used as a hospital. Any help will be appreciated! I believe John W. Melson from Talbot Co. is buried there, as is Robert B. Barron. Both men died on August 6, 1864. Private Melson was in Co. I, 46th Reg., Ga. Vol. Infantry. > > I'd love to (I spend a great deal of time wandering old cemeteries within Atlanta's city limits anyhow, and have been spending time around Atlanta's border with Cobb County lately). It may be after the first of the year before I can get to it, and when I do I'll post it on my blog at http://larryfeltonjohnson.typepad.com and put a note here about it.
