My Great Grandfather was Edward Whitney, Co. C, 100th Indiana
Claimed Residence in Clay, Lagrange
Enlist Date 15 August 1862
Killed at Missionary Ridge, TN on 25 November 1863
Can anyone provide information about burials of the soldiers killed at Missionary Ridge.
I've obtained his widow's pension records. There is no mention.
I contacted the Park Historian at the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park.
He did some extensive research for me but came up with nothing and said there was
suprisingly little information regarding the burials of soldiers killed in that battle.
One suggestion he had to pursue this further was to look at other 100th Indiana sources
and see if some soldier in a letter, diary, journal, or memior
mentions the disposition of their dead.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
