Greenwood Cemetery in Cuthbert, GA, was used as a burial site for Confederate Veterans during the Civil War. It is just a few blocks from Andrew College, which served as Hood Hospital during the war. The cemetery is still active today and is famously the resting site for Cuthbert-born jazz musician Fletcher Henderson and his family.
