Pvt A.G. Arwood was Buried Twice.

The first time after the Battle of Antietam Private Arwood was buried at Wm Rulett's field along "Bloody Lane" where he was killed in one of 5 treads containing 250 unknown Confederate soldiers each along with 346 identified Confederate soldiers that were buried in separate graves with wooden boards with their names carved in them. All this was done by the Union soldiers not by the Confederate soldiers.

The reason the Union soldiers ended up burying the Confederate dead was because after the battle was over and the Confederate Army had lost they retreated back to Virginia tired, defeated and had substained heavy losses. The Union Army buried their dead before burying the dead Confederate soldiers. They did this out of respect for the dead.

The second time all their remains were moved from "Bloody Lane" to The new Washington Confederate Cemetery in 1871 in Hagerstown, Maryland. Its burials include Confederate dead from the Battle of Antietam, and South Mountain. Less than 20 percent of its burials are identified. It was established as a section of the Rose Hill Cemetery and dedicated in 1877.
