Note: There are many reburials at this cemetery for Union soldiers killed in action during the Civil War. After the cemetery opened in 1866, there was a 3-year long project to reinter Union soldiers from battlefields where graves were marked with wooden posts with the soldier's name and death date.
This may produce a Suggestion 886 wrong category time frame suggestion, which can be corrected by marking "False Suggestion" if buried here and date of death is before 1866 and including a comment in the Biography that the person was reinterred here after the cemetery's opening in 1866.
The first interments were the remains of soldiers who had been buried where they fell. A granite memorial arch at the cemetery gate is inscribed: "Here rest the remains of 10,312 Officers and Soldiers who died in defense of the Union 1861-1865." Marietta National Cemetery
