Family members: I am researching 2nd Lt. George Malone of the 18th Tennessee. I will look for his grave in Atlanta this month when I’m down there. My guess is that he was killed in the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain. His regiment was at the Dead Angle, ironically right next to my GGF 2nd Lt. Walter Scott Bearden of the 41st Tennessee. Additionally, their General Joseph B. Palmer was wounded a few days later in the Battle of Jonesboro where my GGF was severely wounded too during the last fight of the Battles of Atlanta.

I found the cemetery where 2nd Lt. George Malone should be buried. There is a Tennessee section which only has numbers on the headstones. I am researching more to find his specific plot. Link to the 360º photo here: https://goo.gl/maps/keupcFfDv6H2
