My ancestor died in Chattanooga in 1884. Information states that he died in city hospital and was buried in potters field by city sexton. I am trying to find out what cemetery this would have been. He should have been buried in the national cemetery as he was a civil war veteran. Since he had no family in Chattanooga, no one informed those involved. They believed he died of typhoid fever, so he was buried very quickly. Does anyone know what cemetery may have been the city cemetery at this time?
