Dogwood Valley Cemetery

Dogwood Valley Cemetery

Find A Grave Survey

Location:

West Addis Road

Tunnel Hill, Catoosa County, Georgia

34.82500 - 85.07720

Find A Grave Cemetery ID: 33645

Date Completion of Survey:



Protocol for conducting a Find A Grave Survey:


  1. There must be evidence of Confederate service in a picture on the memorial page (VA tombstone, inscription on a non-military tombstone, Confederate flag, Southern Cross of Honor).
  2. Confederate soldiers are automatically recorded if they are marked with a VA tombstone.
  3. Service of those marked with a Confederate flag or Southern Cross of Honor is are recorded if their service records can be established. 
  4. Soldiers whose service is described in their Find a Grave memorial are recorded if the information given can be corroborated. 


This is a survey of Dogwood Valley Cemetery in Catoosa County using the Find A Grave memorial page for the cemetery. The cemetery page contains 862 memorials and 90 % have been photographed.  I think I visited this cemetery many years ago and left without finding any Confederate solider markers.
