From Wikipedia.
George Cadman was buried in the Laurel IOOF Cemetery in Madisonville, Ohio. I have occasionally come across the group called Independent Order of Odd Fellows in my research. There is also a marker for the Odd fellows Home in Goldsboro, N.C. on Ashe Street by Herman Park. It was my understanding they had something to do with orphans.
The IOOF started in England in the 18th century and was founded in Baltimore, Maryland, on April 28, 1819. Two of their primary goals were to establish residences for senior members and orphaned children.
The Civil War shattered the IOOF in the United States. Membership dropped tremendously and many lodges were unable to continue their work, especially in the southern states.

I Found George Cadman at Laurel Cemetery Near Cincinnati
I found another, much larger Find-A-Grave site with a whole lot of names of people buried at Laurel Cemetery in Madisonville, Ohio.
They have a man by the name GEORGE H. CALDMAN (b. 1823-D 1864) buried there. Other than having his name misspelled, this must be the man I've been writing such much about.
The next time I'm in Cincinnati I'll have to visit his grave.

George Hovey Cadman-- Part 6
Find-A-Grave did not mention Cadman in 21 results it had for the Laurel IOOF Cemetery in Madisonvile, Ohio, Cadman's final resting place according to the Roots Web "Ancestors of Craig Rice and Related Families" article.
IOOF stands for the International Order of Odd Fellows, an old organization. I know in Goldsboro, N.C., where I was born there was an Odd Fellows Home, part of that organization.
It is located at 5915 Roe Street in Madisonville in Hamilton County. It was established in 1863 by the Laurel Lodge I.O.O.F 191 and is still active as a cemetery with 2686 internments.
Perhaps I need to find a bigger list of intenments.

George Hovey Cadman, 39th Ohio-- Part 5
His original letters can be found at the University of North Carolina--Chapel Hill Libraries in the Southern Historical Society Papers. I came across them in the UNC's Civil War day By Day blog.
Army records described him as "eyes hazel. hair dark, complexion fair, height five feet seven inches.
He died in a field hospital at Marietta, Georgia, established at Saint James Episcopal and he died while lying on a wooden pew in the gallery, third pew from the rear on the right side.
St. James Episcopal Church is still there at 161 St. NE, Marietta, Georgia.

George Hovey Cadman-- Part 3
George Hovey Cadman died of sunstroke in Marietta, Georgia 17 September 1864.
During the period of time between George Cadman's letter about his drunken Col. Noyes in June 1864 before Kennesaw Mountain and his death, , his 39th Ohio was involved in these military operations: From Wikipedia.
June 10-July 2-- Operations around Marietta and against Kennesaw Mountain.
June 27th-- Assault on Kennesaw Mountain.
July 2-5-- Nickajack Creek
July 3-4-- Ruff's Mills
July 5-17-- Chattahoochie River
July 22-- Battle of Atlanta
July 22-August 25-- Siege of Atlanta.
August 25-30-- Flank Movement on Jonesboro.
August 31-September 1-- Battle of Jonesboro
September 2-6-- Lovejoy's Station
After his death:
September 29-Nov. 3-- Operations against Hood in northern Georgia.
Then, the question arises, when did George Cadman get his fatal sunstroke?

Death By Sunstroke in the Civil War
I did a Yahoo! Search on deaths by sunstroke and came up with several different locations.
Most, including the Civil War Site, list the deaths attributed to sunstroke at 313. I'd never heard of that as cause for Civil War deaths before reading about George Cadman.
Of interest, other causes of death in Union ranks:
Murdered-- 520
Suicides-- 391
Military Executions-- 267
Unclassified-- 14, 155

George Hovey Cadman-- Part 2: Died of Sunstroke and Body Brought Back to Cincinnati
George Cadman reenlisted 26 December 1863 and died at Marietta, Georgia, on 17 September 1864 of sunstroke and was buried in the military cemetery there, but reinterred at Old Duck Creek Cemetery in Cincinnati on what later became Edmondson Road in Norwood.
Well, that takes care of what he died of, though sunstroke is a far different cause than I had expected. I would have figured he would have died from his wounds.
This also clears up why he is not listed among the dead at the Marietta National Cemetery.

I Finally Found a Site on George Hovey Cadman-- Part 1: A Cincinnati Connection
From the roots web Ancestors of Craig Rice and Related Families.
GEORGE HOVEY CADMAN
George Hovey Cadman was a silk weaver by trade. He left Liverpool, England on the ship Benjamin Adams 1 December 1856 and after a long, stormy crossing, arrived in New York City 30 January 1858. He then went to Cincinnati, Ohio, where he joined some friends and Alfred Bouchards, who he knew from England. These friends were farmers living a few miles from the city.
His wife Esther and two sons joined him there in 1858.
Even though he was 39 years old, when the Civil War began he joined the 39th Ohio Infantry Regiment, Company B, on 9 August 1862, enlisting as a private. He was warranted to corporal 19 January 1863.

George Cadman's Death
From The Railroad Wart.
George Hovey Cadman of the 39th Ohio Infantry died at Marietta, Georgia on September 17, 1864 of wounds received in the Battles Around Atlanta.He was in Company B of the 39th Ohio which consisted of many men from Marietta, Ohio.
I am still unable to find his burial site as he is not listed as being buried at the Marietta National Cemetery. I am thinking perhaps his body was recovered from the cemetery by the railroad or perhaps it was removed back to Ohio by his family.
But at least I now have a date for his death.

In Case You're Wondering About "Secesh"
In the last entry, George Hovey Cadman referred to the southerners at the ball he went to as "Secesh."
This is not a common tern anymore. Back when I was teaching, another teacher came to me with a letter from the Civil War written by one of her relatives on the Northern side during the Civil War. It mentioned "Secesh" and she wanted to know what it meant. I told her it referred to Southerners (Confederates, rebels).
The Southern states wanted to secede from the Union. The act was called secession and the slang word "Secesh" grew out of it.
That is also my sign-off name.

George Cadman Goes to a Ball in Memphis and Gets in a Fight: "Secesh and As Saucy As the Devil"
Letter home to his wife Esther on October 3, 1863 talking about a ball he went to in Memphis.
"...I don't think I told you in my last letter, but I went to a Ball last Saturday night. There were some six of our company there. Unluckily the parties at the Ball were all Secesh and a saucy as the devil. There were a few Soldiers besides Co. B and after they had paid a Dollar for admittance they were not allowed the privilege of dancing.
"The boys bore it patiently for about two hours, but finding that forebearance had ceased to be a Virtue, they or rather we took and cleaned out the whole pile. It ain't often I mix in a fuss, but I thought the confoundable rebels had gone far enough, for the reason assigned for not permitting the men to dance was because they were Union Soldiers.
"You never saw a place emptied so quick in your life. One fellow trying to get out in a hurry fell into the Wood Box stern first and got jammed, his head stuck out at one end and his heels on the other. We had to pull him out of the Box for he was a prisoner there."
Hey, Secesh! Those Are My Unfriendly Folks. --Old Secesh

A Place to Find George Hovey Cadman's Letters
I came across a book of his letters dating to 1864. It is titles "A Cockney's Gift to America and was compiled by George E. Cadman in 1968.
I would imagine this George E. Cadman to be a direct descendant.
George Hovey Cadman was a corporal when he wrote about the drinking and debauchery at Memphis in 1863.
He was very obviously a very literate man.
You can also find his papers at the University of North Carolina--Chapel Hill library, evidently in the Southern Historical Society Papers. How the papers of a man from the 39th Ohio Infantry Regiment got there is anybody's guess.

Marietta National Cemetery: Is George Cadman's Body There?
From Find-A-Grave.
I was looking to see if George Cadman's body was at the national cemetery.
It was originally known as "The Marietta and Atlanta National Cemetery" and established in 1866 for the 10,000 Union dead from Sherman's Atlanta Campaign.
The site of the cemetery was one time proposed as the new Capitol of the Confederate States of America.
I went through the list of bodies buried there but did not come across George Cadman's name. Perhaps Mr. Cadman was still buried near the railroad in Marietta as the Geog. Gear stated and maybe this wasn't a part of the Marietta National Cemetery. Also, perhaps Cadman's wife Esther was inquiring as to his burial spot because she intended to have his body brought home.
Or, maybe he is buried at the national cemetery and body misidentified?
I still don't know the exact date of his death or cause.

Too Bad There Is No Letter from Esther Cadman: More Questions
I would definitely like to have seen the letter that Georg. R. Gear was replying to in the previous blog entry. When did George Cadman die? How did he die?
With the locating of Cadman's grave, was Esther planning on bringing the body home for burial?
I also am not sure what was meant by her "double sore bereavement"? Had she also lost another relative, perhaps a son since George Hovey was born in 1823 and would have been 41 at his death. Perhaps there was a son also killed?
Always Questions. --Old Secesh

Death of George Hovey Cadman-- Part 2: Burial
19 January 1865 letter from Geog. Gear to Esther Cadman.
He started by saying he didn't know much about Cadman's death, but would relate what he did know.
"The Surgeon's name who attended him was Davis. He belongs to the 17th New York, now in the 14th Corps.
"George was buried decently in the burial spot occupied by the 4th Division, 16th Corps. A neat head board marks his grave. A fence surrounds the burial spot. It is on the outer edge of Marietta, on the left hand side of the Railroad as you come in from the north.
"Again expressing my sympathy for you in your double sore bereavement.
Geog. R. Gear."

I Came Across What Happened to George Cadman-- Part 1: Death
From 19 January 2015, UNC Library Civil War Day By Day.
Exactly the reason why there were no more letters from George Cadman.
A letter from Geog. R. Gear replying to a Nov. 7, 1864 letter from Esther Cadman asking for information about the particulars of George Cadman's death.
George Gear apologized for now replying sooner, but was writing from Savannah and said he had been too busy to do so in the meantime (Sherman's March to the Sea). At that time, Sherman was preparing for his Carolinas Campaign.
Evidently, he had died at some time between June and November. The letter did mention that he was buried at Marietta, Georgia, outside of Atlanta.

George Hovey Cadwell: What Happened to Him?
I have been writing about the interesting letters written from this man to his wife. He was very eloquent and schooled compared to many of his fellow enlisted soldiers.
I found no letters from George Cadman after June 1864. I did find that he was born 18 July 1823 in London, England. Another source listed relatives of his born in Cincinnati between 1884 and 1898.
There was a William Cadman who emigrated with his parents to the United States around 1858 with his parents George Hovey and Esther Cadman. Son.
Perhaps he died at some point after June 1864.

Ohio's 39th Infantry
The 39th Ohio Volunteer Infantry Regiment was organized in Camp Dennison at Cincinnati.
The 39th Ohio stayed at Memphis, Tennessee, which George Cadman found so odious, and were not sent to Vicksburg as he expected. They stayed there from May to October, 1863. Then they were posted to Prospect, Tennessee until February 1864 where they reenlisted.
They took part in Sherman's Atlanta Campaign and were at the Battle of Resaca May 14-15.
They were outside Marietta, Georgia, from June 10 to July 2nd and at the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain on June 27th.
George Cadman's papers, which are at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, stopped after June which leads me to believe that perhaps he was killed or died. Maybe he just quit writing because of the pressure of campaigning. I'll have to do more research.
The 39th Ohio participated in the rest of the Battle of Atlanta and its capture
They were at the Battle of Bentonville in North Carolina March 20-21, 1865, the occupation of Goldsboro, Raleigh and Johnston's surrender at Bennett Place in North Carolina.
A Mystery. --Old Secesh
