Resaca Confederate Cemetery is the last resting place of about four hundred southern boys who fell in the bloody two days' battle fought there on May 14 and 15, 1864, between the forces of Johnston and Sherman.
The plantation of Col. John F. Green, father of Major John Green, superintendent, at that time, of the Georgia railroad, lay within the battlefield area, and his [adult] daughters conceived the idea of sponsoring a movement to have the bodies collected and reinterred in a plat to be known as a Confederate cemetery. It is said that Miss Pyatt Green dug the first grave in her flower garden.

She is buried next to her sisters Mary, Memorial# 71333908 and Georgia, Memorial# 114333009.
