Full Unit History

19th Infantry Regiment was assembled at Knoxville, Tennessee, during May and June, 1861, and entered Confederate service at Cumberland Gap. The men were recruited in the counties of Hamilton, Sullivan, Washington, Rhea, Knox, Polk, McMinn, and Hawkins. It fought at Fishing CreekShiloh, and Baton Rouge, and after serving in the Vicksburg area joined the Army of Tennessee. The 19th was assigned to Stewart's, Strahl's, and Palmer's Brigade, and participated in the difficult campaigns of the army from Murfreesboro to Atlanta. Later it moved with Hood back to Tennessee and saw action in North Carolina. During September 1861, it had 812 men present for duty, reported 34 casualties at Fishing Creek, and lost about twenty-five percent of the 400 at Shiloh and thirty-three percent of the 380 at Murfreesboro. The regiment suffered 94 casualties of the 242 engaged at Chickamauga, had 34 disabled at Chattanooga, and in December 1863, totaled 195 men and 119 arms. On April 26, 1865, it surrendered with 64 men. The field officers were Colonels David H. Cummings, Carrick W. Heiskell, and Francis M. Walker; Lieutenant Colonels James G. Deadrick and Beriah F. Moore; and Majors Abraham Fulkerson and Rufus A. Jarnagin.

GRAVES--Funeral services for Mr. George A. Graves, aged 90 years, who passed away at a local hospital, Thursday, May 21, after a short illness, will be held from the Bingham-Dahlquist Funeral Home, Saturday morning, May 23, at 10 a.m. with Bellingham Bay Lodge No. 31, I.O.O.F., giving their ritualistic service, and interment will be made in the I.O.O.F. Cemetery in Burlington. Mr. Graves had been a resident of this county for the past fifty years and was a veteran of the Civil War and a member of the I.O.O.F. Lodge No. 119 of Burlington. He leaves to mourn his passing, two sons, George, of this city, and Frank, of Skykomish; one daughter, Mrs. Cora Parlso, of Seattle; thirty grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.
(From The Bellingham Herald, May 22, 1936, pg15)

I talked with Kern's funeral home (who manages cemetery records for MV Cem). They have no record and he is not listed in the official list posted on line. I am still investigating his burial location and the funeral home in Bellingham. The one in the obit is no longer in business. This will expire before I complete it. I'll add any information I find on FAG.

  I have gone through my index cards as well as the annual reports for Bellingham Bay Lodge No. 31 and I find no records of a George A. Graves.  The annual reports go back to 1884 and I am finding nothing.
 He was probably a member of a lodge back East and never transferred his membership but may have attended lodge meetings as a guest.  Bellingham Bay may have gone ahead and performed the Odd Fellow Funeral ceremony as he was a member of the Order.
 I'm sorry I do not have any other information for you.
 Fraternally,
Laurel Delony, PGM, Grand Secretary
