Silverdale Confederate Cemetery
This small Confederate Cemetery is located in Chattanooga, in the area of Silverdale about 12 miles from downtown. It is between the Lee Highway and Interstate 75 and across from a Motel 6. It is the burial site of about 155 Confederate soldiers who died in local hospitals. They had originally been marked by wooden markers, but those-and most of the identities of the soldiers-are not lost.
The three markers that are at the site:

155 Unknown Confederate Soldiers
YOUNGBLOOD William L. Co E 8 MISS Inf CSA Jul 27, 1833-Oct 15, 1862
MARLEY Shine Caswell Co H 39 Ala Inf CSA 1830-1862
