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.

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.

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.
