I was doing some research when I found the links below. I was searching for the soldiers that were moved from Cartersville to Cassville. They were part of the 1st Regiment Georgia State Line part of Galts and Company D. I had assumed that Samuel Hollingsworth Stout had the hospitals in the area but it looks like the Georgia State Line maintained hospitals in Cartersville and Jonesboro.

Lena Williford listed in the first article you posted as one of the women who collected and contributed money for the removal of the remains to Cassville. Do you think that is a misspelling of Lena Wofford, the daughter of my favorite general?

I believe there are several misspelling in the article. Notice T F Gouldmsith is Theodore F Goldsmith. a member of the first unit formed in 1859 the Etowah Guard.

i also believe James B Conyers may be Cunyus but that's why I am researching to confirm. I am almost tempted to buy a subscription to Fold3. I have Hughs name as part of the 63rd Georgia

But there is a lot of storied about what happened to Hugh. One claim is he died t Kennesaw Mountain. Another claim was Joshua Hill claimed his body after the battle near Lithonia. I believe he die not die in battle but of disease in but I need proof by looking at his record. Note Joshua Hill had 2 sons die.

In 1864, Hill was elected mayor of Madison, Georgia.[1] During the later stages of the Civil War, Hill lost his only son during the Atlanta Campaign in fighting near Lithonia, Georgia. When Hill went to retrieve his son's body, he stopped to speak with General William Tecumseh Sherman, with a request that Union troops under Sherman's command not burn the town of Madison which was on the path of Sherman's March to the Sea.[1] While Sherman agreed, the portion of his troops passing through Madison were under the command of subordinate General Henry Warner Slocum. When General Slocum approached Madison, Joshua Hill went out to meet him. General Slocum honored the agreement previously struck with General Sherman, and only burned the cotton gin, the railroad station, and anything that contributed to the war effort, but not houses.[1] Wikipedia

"Congressman Joshua HILL, Jr. (1812-1891) of Madison, GA, brother of the Hulda HILL who married that John DANIEL, was an avid opponent of the South's entering the CW and was good friends with SHERMAN's step-brother, John, also then a congressman from Ohio, as I remember. HILL also did not serve in a CSA unit, either, deciding to stay at home in Madison throughout the war, although I know his son [Hugh Legare HILL] served and was killed at the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain, GA in 1864."

...the Sixty-third was neatly nearly surrounded by the enemy. The regiment was skillfully extracted from its perilous position by Lieutenant Colonel Black and the acting adjutant, Lieut. George W. McLaughlin, of Company A (the Oglethorpe's of Augusta) and marched in order to the position assigned it in the line of battle. Among the killed was Legate Hill, son of Hon. Joshua Hill, of Madison, GA. Two of his comrades took up the lifeless body, conveyed it to a little abandoned cottage, pinned his name upon his jacket and left him there. Although this was done in full view of the Federal skirmishers, not a shot was fired at the two men until they rejoined their comrades. The Federals coming up, took the body of young Hill, buried it, and marked the grave by a headboard on which they cut the name which they found pinned to his jacket.

Fold 3 will reveal whom Alford Long was from Texas. I am sure he is in a record of men who died at Cartersville. i have been searching fro Cassville hospitals without looking at Cartersville.
 
The only Alford or Alfred Long in TX unit is the Corporal you mentioned as A/14th TX. Unfortunately, I dont think that is our man. Carded records for Corp Alfred Long A/14th TX show he was 18 years old in 1862; slightly wounded in the foot at Murfreesboro December 31, 1862. Hospitalized at USA Hospital No 1 at Chattanooga for "GS Wound rt side, fract. 6 rib" and ret'd to duty July 12, 1865.
