[Mark F. Jenkins]

I know red is artillery... the single chevron isn't where I'd expect to find rank insignia, so I'm going to go with private. (Not terribly confident in that, though. Seems awfully fancy for a private.)

Bonus: Stone Mountain?

 

[DR_Hanna]

rank: musician
branch: drum and bugle corp
edifice: UGA Chapel in Athens, Ga

Edit - To the best of my knowledge, drum and bugle corps didn't become popular until well after the Civil War. They wouldn't qualify as a branch of service in any event.

The uniform pictured is a Union Artillery musicians shell jacket. Since there is no chevron above the elbow that was for musician/private in the rank structure.

Must be a private as no rank marks are worn.

Edit - You're right about his being a private, but you would also have needed to say what branch he belonged to in order to get credit for a correct response.

Bonus:
Oconee Hill Cemetery is an American cemetery in Athens, Georgia. The cemetery opened in 1856 and is located just off the University of Georgia's campus. It is still an open cemetery.[1]

Oconee Hill Cemetery was purchased in 1855 by the city of Athens when further burials were prohibited in the old town cemetery on land owned by the University of Georgia. In 1856, the city formed a self-perpetuating Board of Trustees to hold and manage in trust the original purchase of 17 acres (69,000 m2) on the west side of the North Oconee River as a public cemetery for the benefit of the town

Bonus- I am taking the meaning of edifice in its broadest sense. Therefore my answer is Sanford Stadium. It is certainly large and a short walk from Oconee Cemetery where TRR Cobb is interred.

Sanford Stadium is the on-campus playing venue for football at the University of Georgia in Athens, Georgia, United States. The 92,746-seat stadium is the tenth-largest stadium in the NCAA. Wikipedia
