Also, there are many Confederate and Union dead buried in Marietta, Georgia, which is a suburb of Atlanta. I think it is a national cemetery. I have rode by it hundreds of times but have never been inside. Maybe someone can advise if there is a way to check on the names of soldiers buried there!!!! S.K.

He was listed on the roster as M. C. Heflin.  I believe he wrote his name as Mc Heflin and recruter and subsequent persons wrote it at M. C. initals. My burning question is how do I find where he was buried? Does anyone know? Marcene

For a death that ocurred in Atlanta, Try calling the sextons office at Oakland Cemetery. See if they have his name listed as being in the cemetery or call west view cemetery. They have large numbers of burials , Tho a long shot they are still good place to look if not for anything other than the process of elemination.

For obits in Atlanta you can write to the Atlanta History Center, 130 Paces Ferry Road. NW, Atlanta, GA. 30305-1366 give them as much information as possible and they will search for an obit. The fee has been $5.00 but I haven't used them this year. I have had very good luck with them. Sorry I don't know anything about the Hollywood Cemetery.

Doris, Holly Cemetery is now Lincoln Memorial Park 404-792-2220 It is located off of GA I-20 west to Hightower Road. Do not go alone, take someone with you. Chloe

Not sure how good of records are at Hollywood. I had a deed to a lot from 1940s and even with deed they couldn't find the lot, finally decided it was not even within the bounds of the cemetery. For the second question. The Journal and Constitution were both prominent papers during all of 20th century. I don't remember the dates that the various degrees of consolidation took place but during the 1930s they were under separate management if not separate ownership. -----Original Message----- From: Fillmoreb@aol.com [mailto:Fillmoreb@aol.com] Sent: Tuesday, March 27, 2001 7:09 PM To: GAFULTON-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [GAFULTON] New member, Charles Benner, Hollywood Cemetery Hello, I am a new member to this list.
